in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Director can organize U.S. patents by subject. The Director may also classify other patents and publications. This helps check quickly if an invention is truly new.

The Director may create and update a system that sorts United States patents by subject matter. The Director may also classify other patents and printed publications, whenever doing so is necessary or practical. The purpose of this classification system is to let the Office quickly and accurately determine whether an invention described in a patent application is actually new.
