Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Systems using the reflection of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves > Systems determining position data of a target > Indirect determination of position data

CPC:

Systems using the reflection or reradiation of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves, e.g. lidar systems > Systems using the reflection of electromagnetic waves other than radio waves (G01S17/66 takes precedence) > Systems determining position data of a target > Indirect determination of position data

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 1 subcodes exist in both systems.

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
