Crosswalk
How Airborne ISR, Early Warning & Battle Management is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 1 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G01S13/5242 | Discriminating between fixed and moving objects or between objects moving at different speeds using transmissions of interrupted pulse modulated waves based upon the phase or frequency shift resulting from movement of objects, with reference to the transmitted signals, e.g. coherent MTi with means for platform motion or scan motion compensation, e.g. airborne MTI | Airborne moving-target radar with platform motion compensation | 1 | none | 651 |
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 Airborne ISR, Early Warning & Battle Management: 1 codes on 651 documents. The full crosswalk is in the cpc-to-capability.csv download.
| Code | Title | Under entry | How placed | Documents |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G01S13/5242 | Discriminating between fixed and moving objects or between objects moving at different speeds using transmissions of interrupted pulse modulated waves based upon the phase or frequency shift resulting from movement of objects, with reference to the transmitted signals, e.g. coherent MTi with means for platform motion or scan motion compensation, e.g. airborne MTI | G01S13/5242 | In the scheme | 651 |
