Rapporteur Report
Ref :
Annex 1: JP Revision request with proposal, March 13, 2014
Annex 2: SE comments, April 9, 2014
Rapporteur is grateful to SE for making useful comments and preparing the counter proposal.
SE proposed in their comments to rearrange groups 9/011 - 9/03 with the help of three new
two-dot head groups, "characterised by the purpose", "characterised by form or functional
features" and "characterised by means for fixing or placement".
R supports this SE proposal on the whole. In the initial proposal, groups relating various
aspects were arranged in a disordered way. But R thinks the scope of the head group
“characterised by the purpose” is not clear, because all subject matter under 9/011 have its
own purpose. R, therefore, tried to rearrange groups 9/011-9/03 with the help of two head
groups “characterised by form or functional features” and “characterised by means for fixing
or placement”. The proposed arrangement with the help of the two head groups will sort out
the groups and make it easy for user to understand the scheme.
SE commented that the proposed subdivision of 9/04 and its subgroups is problematic, since
it would introduce parallel groups in different places for subject matter that is almost
indistinguishable.
R surmises SE thinks the relation between E01F9/041-9/044 and E01F9/081-9/085 and the
relation between E01F9/045 and E01F9/06-9/076 are parallel and cause the problem.
Regarding the former relation, R has not changed the scheme as stated in the table below,
but R would like to invite further comments on this point. Regarding the latter relation, R
would like to propose to delete E01F9/045.
Below you will first find a table about the initial proposal with SE and R comments, then a
table about a modified proposal.
The modified proposal is made by editing SE counter proposal in Annex 2, because the
modified proposal adopts a lot of wordings proposed by SE and contains rearranged groups
9/30-9/69 also proposed by SE.
Although R has removed some references which R thinks unnecessary in the modified
proposal, R would welcome other offices comments.
Provisional numberings are used in the modified proposal.

R:
In the initial proposal, only the
subgroup 9/016 (“illuminated”)
contained the limiting reference
pointing to 13/00. R thinks that is not
reasonable and, therefore, moves the
reference from 9/016 to the main group
9/00.
It is noted that there is the limiting
reference “Barrier bollards 13/00”
under the subheading of “This
subclass/group does not cover:” in the
CPC definition of the main group 9/00.
OK
We think the reference is informative.
The title could be simplified:
Marking means interacting
otherwise than by visible means,
e.g. using radar reflectors or radio
transmitters
R:
R supports simplifying the wording but
the scope of the proposed title seems
too wide. It appears to contain the
interacting means such as pressure
sensors.
R proposes a modified title in the left
column.
R thinks 9/00 and 11/00 have an
overlap since “other sensitive devices”
in the title of 11/00 contains receivers.
So, R thinks the reference to 11/00
should remain.
The title could be simplified:
Marking means automatically
reacting to atmospheric conditions,
e.g. to signal icy roads or light up in
fog; Marking or traffic control
means characterised by heating or
drying arrangements
R:
R supports simplifying the wording but
R suggests changing the phrase
“atmospheric conditions” proposed by
SE to “adverse atmospheric
conditions” in order not to change the
initial scope.

Posts or bollards, e.g. milestones
R:
R supports SE proposal.
We propose:
Posts or bollards for guiding,
warning or controlling traffic, e.g.
delineator posts or milestones
R:
R surmises SE comment on 9/0175 is
based on the observation that the
phrase “Traffic guidance, warning or
control” doesn’t have any important
meaning. R thinks that almost all the
markings classified under 9/00 are
used for “Traffic guidance, warning or
control”.
Based on this observation, R proposes
to delete the phrase “Traffic guidance,
warning or control” of 9/0111.

Special features of delineator posts,
e.g. with parts cantilevered toward
the roadway or fixed vertically on a
tilted surface (E01F9/03, E01F9/053,
E01F9/08 take precedence)
Delineator posts
Since “Posts or bollards” itself is not
characterised by either “form or
functional features” or “means for fixing
or placement”, R proposes to set
9/0111 directly under 9/30.
We are not in favour of this group.
"Special features" is not a distinct
borderline, delineator posts without
special features aren't inventions! The
group could perhaps be saved by
changing the title to "specially
adapted for marking road edges,
e.g. with parts extending towards
the roadway". We don't understand
the second example and we don’t think
the last two precedence references are
necessary.
R:
R would like to propose the title
“delineator posts”, since the scope of
the title proposed by SE is rather
different from that of the initial one.
Since “delineator posts” itself is not
characterised by either “form or
functional features” or “means for fixing
or placement”, R propose to set 9/0112
directly under the group 9/32.

This group should not be created here!
It should be a subgroup of 9/08 and a

R:
R understands the first part of the title
is related not only to 9/08 but to 9/06
because “road surface marking” in the
first part is related not only to “Traffic
lines” of 9/08 but to “Traffic studs;
Marking” of 9/06. Thus, R deems that it
is not appropriate to move the first part
under 9/08 as proposed by SE.
R understands the second part of the
title is related not only to “Traffic lines”
of 9/08, that is, the marking with the
shape of “line”, but also to the making
with the various shape. Thus, R deems
that it is not appropriate to move the
second part under 9/08 as proposed by
SE. However, since there seems an
overlap between the scope of the
second part and that of 9/08, R
proposes to change the references in
the second part to “E01F9/047,
E01F9/053, E01F9/06, E01F9/08 take
precedence”.
Consequently, R proposes to change
the title to one in the left column, using
the expression in the title proposed by
SE.

R:
R has not moved this group, which is

But, R has simplified the title of 9/044
taking account of the expression in the

This should be a subgroup of 9/07, see
9/071!
R:
It seems that SE comment is based on
the observation that the subject matter
of 9/045 is covered in 9/06. It is certain
that there is an overlap between the
scope of 9/045 and that of 9/06, even if
the former is not contained fully in the
latter. Taking into consideration the
fact there is less than 100 documents
in 9/045 in the CPC, R suggests
deleting 9/045 from the scheme to
exclude the overlap.

R:
SE proposes to move 9/045 under 9/07
as 9/071, but 9/045 is unnecessary
group as R mentioned above.
Considering also the fact that only 15
documents are classified in 9/07 in the
CPC, R thinks 9/071 not to be useful.
Thus, R proposes not to establish
9/071.
Should be a subgroup of 9/071:
with vertical displacement under
load, e.g. with concurrent rotational
movement
R:
Since R has not established 9/071,
9/073 is set directly under 9/07.
R supports the title itself proposed by
SE.
Should be a subgroup of 9/071:
flexible or rockable markers, e.g.
resilient flaps
R:
In R’s view, SE proposed the title
“flexible or rockable markers, e.g.
resilient flaps”, based on the existence
of the upper subgroup 9/071.
However, since the subgroup 9/071
has not been established as mentioned
above, R would like to suggest
restoring the initial title. Although the
initial title is restored, it may be
necessary to modify it to clarify the
scope. R would like to propose the title
in the left column.
As 9/045 has been deleted, the
reference pointing to the group has
been deleted.
The title should be broadened:
Traffic lines
Markings on road surfaces, e.g.
traffic lines
R:
If the title of 9/08 is changed to
“Markings on road surfaces, e.g. traffic
lines” as suggested by SE, the scope
of 9/06 appears to be contained by that
of 9/08.
So, R proposes to adopt the initial title.

Arrangement of road signs or traffic signals; Arrangements for
enforcing caution, e.g. speed bumps (for obstructing or
restricting traffic E01F13/00)
Use of light guides, e.g. fibre optic devices
Marking means interacting with transmitters or receivers
otherwise than by visible means, e.g. using radar reflectors or
radio transmitters (E01F11/00 takes precedence)
Marking means automatically reacting to adverse atmospheric
conditions, e.g. to signal icy roads or light up in fog; Marking
or traffic control means characterised by heating or drying
arrangements
