Crosswalk

How Foundational Learning is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 96 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.

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. Captures general teaching and e-learning technology, which serves every level of education and not only school-age literacy and numeracy; medical training models are excluded and counted under the health workforce. The crosswalk is a first pass that nobody has reviewed.
