SUBJECT MATTER NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION

Introduced: January 2006

Description

G99Z is a residual classification for physics-related inventions and technologies that do not fit within the more specific physics subclasses (G01–G98) of IPC Section G. This catch-all category captures novel or emerging physics applications, experimental apparatus, or interdisciplinary technologies where the primary technical character is physics-based but lacks a clearly defined home in the established classification scheme. Patents classified here typically represent edge cases, combinations of technologies, or genuinely new fields that predate formal classification development.

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

IPC defines codes here since 2006.
