U.S. National Patent Classifications Used by CAS

The following is a list of U.S. National Classification Codes (U.S. NPC) that CAS has used in its patent selection process since January 2003.

This list contains the U.S. NPC codes that are covered by CAS, i.e., patent documents that have one or more of these NPC codes are automatically selected for examination by the CAS document analysts. The selected patent documents are abstracted and indexed by CAS if they meet the CAS criteria of chemical and chemical engineering content.
