The Patent Master Classification File (MCF) contains patent numbers and their current classifications, i.e., the classes and subclasses that all patents are assigned by the patent examining corps. There are approximately 450 main divisions of technology in the MCF, called classes, which are broken into approximately 150,000 subdivisions, called subclasses. The file is provided in two
sequences, by patent number with current
classification, or by classification with
all the patent numbers included in that
classification. The MCF is completely updated
every two months and contains all patents
issued since 1790 with their current classifications.
