This Agreement, concluded in Strasbourg, France, in 1971 and administered by WIPO, is fundamental to how patent information is organised and retrieved globally.
The primary objective of the Strasbourg Agreement is to create a uniform, hierarchical, and language-independent classification system for patents, inventors' certificates, utility models, and utility certificates. This system is the International Patent Classification (IPC).
