We would like to thank US, EP, CN and DE for their support and comments.
We understand that all Offices are in favour of creating a scheme ruled by plant taxonomy. It would be
beneficial for classification and search.
Regarding US proposal, as DE expressed, it is indeed quite big. We agree with DE when it comes with the
number of groups created. We don’t think that the scheme needs to go so deep in details.
We also noticed that US proposal organizes the scheme in alphabetical order. Indeed, if several groups are
created, we don’t see the need of separating them in dicotyledons and monocotyledons.
Regarding EP proposal, we agree about creating new subgroups to incorporate the taxonomy plants.
However, we think that it could be cumbersome to have two main groups in the main scheme about flowering
plants, making obligatory classification in both groups. Therefore, we suggest introducing the taxonomy
plants as subgroups under current A01H5/00 and creating an indexing scheme based on plant parts, e.g.
A01H105/00 (with the current IPC groups). We have the opinion that this indexing scheme doesn’t need to
be obligatory.
Finally, in our proposal, as follows, we maintained just the one dot groups of the US proposal, including some
of its subgroups as examples, respectively.
