Example: Siemens EP 2007
Explanation: Smart Search will look for Siemens as being the inventor/applicant (first letter in uppercase), for all EP, i.e., European patent applications (2 letters in uppercase for the country code) and 2007 as publication date (4 digits for the year of publication).

New in espacenet!
As from today, (9th June) in espacenet you will be able to see an additional class in ECLA.
The new class has the symbol Y02 and covers patents in the area of sustainable energy technologies.
At the moment the classification scheme itself is visible, as are some of the documents (Y02C). However, as there are such a large number of documents in this class it will take some time before they are all uploaded. More information on the new Y02 classification will be provided as it becomes available.

Update:
All documents classified under Y02C and Y02E are now available on espacenet.
