How Agrifood & Primary Production is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 5,944 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
A01	Agriculture; forestry; animal husbandry; hunting; trapping; fishing	Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishing	3,169	1,757	9,090,043
A21	Baking; edible doughs	Baking and doughs	315	170	508,167
A22	Butchering; meat treatment; processing poultry or fish	Butchering and processing of meat, poultry and fish	237	66	217,693
A23	Foods or foodstuffs; treatment thereof, not covered by other classes	Foods, food processing and animal feed	2,624	1,074	5,752,409
B02B	Preparing grain for milling; refining granular fruit to commercial products by working the surface	Grain milling preparation	19	21	68,082
C12C	Beer; preparation of beer by fermentation; preparation of malt for making beer; preparation of hops for making beer	Beer and brewing	93	58	78,176

D01B	Mechanical treatment of natural fibrous or filamentary material to obtain fibres of filaments, e.g. for spinning	Obtaining natural fibres, such as cotton, wool and silk	48	47	27,505

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 Agrifood & Primary Production: 6,649 codes on 13,149,581 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. A sector-wide match on farming, fishing, forestry and food and fibre processing by whole classes; mining and other primary sectors are not included. The crosswalk is a first pass that nobody has reviewed.
