GL B V 3.2 IPC classification when the scope of the invention is not clear (e.g. a partial search)

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

When the scope of the invention is not clear, the classification has to be based on what appears to be the invention in so far as this can be understood. It is then necessary to amend it if obscurities are removed by the search, as discussed in B‑V, 3, last paragraph.
