IPC30 reclassification and multiple classes - PART II

Following previous post on INPI-OST 30 classes reclassification, now we go deeper into data by application authority for EPO, USPTO and WIPO to see if multiple classes may depend from the patent office.

This time I selected applications with priority date >= 2000, from patstat sept. 2010

Results do no seem to depend much from patent authority.
We could, on same population, try to see what are the most frequent couples of classes that occur on same applications.
Results are following:
