DIFF Subgroup
G11B 7/2403

Layers; Shape, structure or physical properties thereof

Introduced: January 2013

Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Recording or reproducing by optical means, e.g. recording using a thermal beam of optical radiation, reproducing using an optical beam at lower power; Record carriers therefor > Record carriers characterised by shape, structure or physical properties, or by the selection of the material > Layers; Shape, structure or physical properties thereof

CPC:

Recording or reproducing by optical means, e.g. recording using a thermal beam of optical radiation , reproducing using an optical beam at lower power ; Record carriers therefor (G11B11/00, G11B13/00 take precedence) > Record carriers characterised by shape, structure or physical properties, or by the selection of the material (characterised by the arrangement of information on the carrier G11B7/007) > Layers; Shape, structure or physical properties thereof

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 8 subcodes exist in both systems.

2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.

IPC defines codes here since 2013.
