Crosswalk

How Autonomous Systems & Trusted Autonomy is matched to the patent classifications. The entries below were chosen for it; each stands for itself and everything beneath it in the scheme, 264 Cooperative entries in all. A patent family counts when any of its codes, in either scheme and at any office, falls under one of them. Codes since retired are placed under the entries that replaced them.

Entry	Title in the scheme	Why it is chosen	CPC codes	IPC codes	Documents
G05D1/00	Control of position, course, altitude or attitude of land, water, air or space vehicles, e.g. using automatic pilots	Automatic control of vehicle position, course and altitude	225	72	875,330
B60W60/00	Drive control systems specially adapted for autonomous road vehicles	Drive control for autonomous road vehicles	35	1	159,007
G06V20/56	Context or environment of the image exterior to a vehicle by using sensors mounted on the vehicle	Vehicle perception of surroundings from on-board sensors	6	2	191,068

G05D1/104	Simultaneous control of position or course in three dimensions specially adapted for aircraft involving a plurality of aircrafts, e.g. formation flying	Left out
G05D1/0291	Fleet control	Left out

CPC and IPC codes are the codes in use on patent documents, at any office, that fall under the entry. Documents is the larger of the two schemes' counts of documents carrying one of them. An entry with no IPC codes can be told apart only in the Cooperative scheme.

The Cooperative codes in use that count towards Autonomous Systems & Trusted Autonomy: 266 codes on 1,225,405 documents. The 150 most used are listed; the full list is in the cpc-to-capability.csv download.
