Crosswalk

How International Media & Broadcasting is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 682 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
H04H	Broadcast communication	Broadcast communication	184	172	324,390
H04N21/00	Selective content distribution, e.g. interactive television or video on demand [VOD]	Streaming and interactive distribution of video content	498	156	3,714,481
G06F40/40	Processing or translation of natural language	Machine translation and natural language processing	11	11	80,715

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 broadcast, streaming, translation and social-platform technology whoever uses it, not international audience reach; the social networking entry is in practice CPC only. The crosswalk is a first pass that nobody has reviewed.
