Introduced: January 2006
Description
F99Z is a residual classification within Section F (Mechanical Engineering, Lighting, Heating, Weapons, Blasting) used for inventions and technical disclosures that do not fit within any other established subclass of this section. This classification functions as a catch-all category for mechanical, thermal, or related engineering technologies that fall outside the defined scope of primary F-section classes. Patents classified here typically represent novel or interdisciplinary subject matter in mechanical engineering domains that lack a dedicated classification home.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.
IPC defines codes here since 2006.
