`
` January 2012 CLASSIFICATION DEFINITIONS
`
`
`
`
`
` 705 - 1
`
`CLASS 705, DATA PROCESSING: FINANCIAL,
`BUSINESS PRACTICE, MANAGEMENT, OR
`COST/PRICE DETERMINATION
`
`combination with apparatus under the class definition is
`classified in this class unless provided for in the appro-
`priate external class.
`
`SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION
`
`This is the generic class for apparatus and correspond-
`ing methods for performing data processing operations,
`in which there is a significant change in the data or for
`
`performing calculation operations wherein the apparatus
`
`or method is uniquely designed for or utilized in the
`
`
`practice, administration, or management of an enter-
`prise, or in the processing of financial data.
`
`This class also provides for apparatus and correspond-
`
`ing methods for performing data processing or calculat-
`ing operations in which a charge for goods or services is
`determined.
`
`This class additionally provides for subject matter
`
`
`described in the two paragraphs above in combination
`
`with cryptographic apparatus or method.
`
`
`Subclasses 705/300-348 were established prior to com-
`
`plete reclassification of all project documents. Docu-
`ments that have not yet been reclassified have been
`placed in 705/1.1. Until reclassification is finished a
`complete search of 705/300-348 should include a search
`of 705/1.1. Once the project documents in 705/1.1 have
`
`been reclassified they will be moved to the appropriate
`
`subclasses and this note will be removed.
`
`SCOPE OF THE CLASS
`
`
`
`1. The arrangements in this class are generally used for
`problems relating to administration of an organization,
`
`commodities or financial transactions.
`
`2. Mere designation of an arrangement as a “business
`
`machine” or a document as a “business form” or “busi-
`ness chart” without any particular business function will
`
`not cause classification in this class or its subclasses.
`
`3. For classification herein, there must be significant
`
`claim recitation of the data processing system or calcu-
`lating computer and only nominal claim recitation of
`any external art environment. Significantly claimed
`apparatus external to this class, claimed in combination
`with apparatus under the class definition, which perform
`data processing or calculation operations are classified
`in the class appropriate to the external device unless
`specifically excluded therefrom.
`
`4. Nominally claimed apparatus external to this class in
`
`5. In view of the nature of the subject matter included
`herein, consideration of the classification schedule for
`the diverse art or environment is necessary for proper
`search.
`
`OTHER CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS
`
`Each subclass definition may contain an OTHER
`
`
`CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS listing that is to be used
`
`
`for informational purposes only. These classification
`listings may change at any time after their publication
`and are therefore not guaranteed to be current. In addi-
`tion, the classification listing does not necessarily indi-
`
`cate the sole relationship between the U.S. Patent
`Classification System and foreign classifications. Even
`where a single classification is listed for a single U.S.
`subclass, a one-to-one correlation should not be
`
`inferred. As a result, information contained therein is
`
`considered to be only a guide to related subject matter.
`
`
`Types of other classification systems may include:
`
`• IPC7, which indicates an International Patent Classifi-
`cation (seventh edition) of the World Intellectual Prop-
`erty Organization (WIPO),
`
`• JPO/FI, which indicates the Japanese Patent Office
`
`and its File Index (FI is a subdivision of the IPC with
`related subject matter) classifications, or
`
`
`• European Patent Classification (ECLA), which indi-
`cates the European Patent Office s classification and
`also further subdivides the IPC into related subject mat-
`ter, or
`
`• Derwent, which indicates a classification from the
`Derwent Classification System.

`Amusement Devices: Games, subclasses 1+,
`
`when there is a recitation (according to para-
`graph 3, under Scope of the Class, in the Class
`
`Definition of this class (705)) of a method or
`apparatus for moving or processing informa-
`
`tion specified as game or contest information,

`

`(i.e., one that involves an award or prize based
`upon the occurrence of a chance happening or
`event; e.g., lottery, keno, slot machine, etc.).
`
`However, in order for the specified information
`to be considered significant for placement in

`Class 463, there must be significant game pro-
`cessing. For example, the mere printing of a

`
`there is also included an element of a game for
`Class 463 (e.g., a determination of whether the
`number is a winning number, such as by lot
`matching, a determination of an award or prize
`value associated with a number, etc.). A “cou-

`MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENT:
`This subclass is indented under the class defini-
`
`tion. Subject matter wherein an electrical
`apparatus and its corresponding methods per-
`form the data processing operations, in which
`there is a significant change in the data or for
`performing calculation operations wherein the
`apparatus or method is uniquely designed for
`
`or utilized in the practice, administration, or
`
`management of an enterprise, or in the process-
`
`ing of financial data.
`
`(1) Note. The term “arrangement” as used
`in this and its indented subclasses refers
`to either a device or to a method of use
`of a device for performing the indicated
`process. Further, a device may be an
`assemblage of components at a single
`
`
`location or may have its several compo-
`nents at geographically distinct loca-
`tions, i.e., a network.
`
`(2) Note. The term “enterprise” as used in
`this and
`its
`indented subclasses
`is
`intended to include governmental and
`nonprofit organizations, as well as con-
`ventional business organizations.
`
`(3) Note. The arrangements in this and its
`indented subclasses are generally used
`
`for problems relating to administration
`of an organization, commodities, finan-
`cial transactions, or recreation.
`
`(4) Note. Mere designation of an arrange-
`ment as a “business machine” or a docu-
`ment as a “business form” or “business
`
`chart” without any particular business
`function will not cause classification in
`

`(according to the (3) Note of Section
`III of the Class 705 Definition) of a
`method or apparatus for moving or
`processing information specified as
`game or contest in formation, espe-
`
`cially subclass 16, where game or
`contest
`information
`relates
`to a
`chance-type game (i.e., one
`that
`involves an award or prize based upon
`the occurrence of a chance happening
`or event; e.g., lottery, keno, slot

`game processing. For example, the
`
`mere printing of a
`selected lottery
`
`number is not significant unless there
`is also included an element of a game
`for Class 463 (e.g., a determination of
`whether the number is a winning
`
`
`number, such as by lot matching, a
`determination of an award or prize
`value associated with a number, etc.).
`A “coupon” or price adjustment given
`
