G11B 7/257 of layers having properties involved in recording or reproduction, e.g. optical interference layers or sensitising layers or dielectric layers, which are protecting the recording layers
Introduced: January 2006
Title
Titles differ between systems:
IPC: of layers having properties involved in recording or reproduction, e.g. optical interference layers, sensitising layers or dielectric layers which are protecting the recording layers
CPC: of layers having properties involved in recording or reproduction, e.g. optical interference layers or sensitising layers or dielectric layers, which are protecting the recording layers
Full Title
Full titles differ between systems:
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 > Record carriers characterised by the selection of the material > of layers other than recording layers > of layers having properties involved in recording or reproduction, e.g. optical interference layers, sensitising layers or dielectric layers which are protecting the recording layers
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) > characterised by the selection of the material > of layers other than recording layers > of layers having properties involved in recording or reproduction, e.g. optical interference layers or sensitising layers or dielectric layers, which are protecting the recording layers
Of 4 combined children, 2 exist in both systems.
2 codes are CPC-only extensions.
Note: 2 CPC extensions are marked as secondary classification only.
IPC defines codes here since 2013.
