How Advanced Chemical & Process Manufacturing is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 237 Cooperative entries in all. A patent family counts when any of its codes, in either scheme and at any office, falls under one of them. Codes since retired are placed under the entries that replaced them.
| Entry | Title in the scheme | Why it is chosen | CPC codes | IPC codes | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B01J19/0093 | Microreactors, e.g. miniaturised or microfabricated reactors | Microreactors | 1 | 1 | 21,975 |
| B01J2219/00781 | Aspects relating to microreactors | Microreactor design aspects | 97 | none | 89,777 |
| B01J19/24 | Stationary reactors without moving elements inside | Fixed flow reactors without moving parts | 20 | 1 | 82,425 |
| B01J8/00 | Chemical or physical processes in general, conducted in the presence of fluids and solid particles; Apparatus for such processes | Fluid-solid reactors: fixed and fluidised beds | 107 | 24 | 322,133 |
| B01J10/00 | Chemical processes in general for reacting liquid with gaseous media other than in the presence of solid particles, or apparatus specially adapted therefor | Gas-liquid reaction processes and apparatus | 5 | 2 | 21,421 |
| B01J12/00 | Chemical processes in general for reacting gaseous media with gaseous media; Apparatus specially adapted therefor | Gas-gas reaction processes and apparatus | 5 | 2 | 12,332 |
| B01J14/00 | Chemical processes in general for reacting liquids with liquids; Apparatus specially adapted therefor | Liquid-liquid reaction processes and apparatus | 2 | 1 | 6,600 |
CPC and IPC codes are the codes in use on patent documents, at any office, that fall under the entry. Documents is the larger of the two schemes' counts of documents carrying one of them. An entry with no IPC codes can be told apart only in the Cooperative scheme.
The Cooperative codes in use that count towards Advanced Chemical & Process Manufacturing: 237 codes on 545,660 documents. The 150 most used are listed; the full list is in the cpc-to-capability.csv download.

Match: Through its tools
The classification names the equipment or technology the capability draws on, not the capability. The count says how much is being invented for it, not how well it is done. The scheme names reactor types, not continuous-flow or intensified processing as such; microreactors are separable only in CPC. The crosswalk is a first pass that nobody has reviewed.
