Subscription sales of newspapers and periodicals (not described in terms of CPC, Version 1.0) are included in the EBOPS 
component other information provision services.
 
f
  
The EBOPS component royalties and license fees comprises payments for the right to use various non-financial, intangible assets. 
The original published CPC, Version 1.0 includes both the asset and the related payments for the right to use in a single category, 
division 51. In January 2000, a new group 733 was introduced into CPC to cover these payments for use, while the assets themselves 
remain in division 51. Payments for the right to use patents are covered in subclass 73310, payments for the use of trademarks in 
73320, payments related to franchising activities (except for the purchase/sale of a franchise license) in 73330, payments for the use 
of copyrights in 73340 and payments for other intangible assets in 73390. The planned revision of CPC in 2002 will maintain a 
similar separation.
 
g
  
The breakdown of the EBOPS component royalties and license fees into franchises and similar rights (code 891) and other royalties 
and license fees (code 892) cannot be described in terms of the original CPC, Version 1.0, where franchising payments were 
included indistinguishably in subclass 51290. Since January 2000, payments related to franchising activities have been separately 
identified in CPC subclass 73330.
