Class 106
COMPOSITIONS: COATING OR PLASTIC
Class Definition:
This class is the broad generic class for:
(1) Coating, impregnating or plastic compositions, especially
those which set or harden to retain a given shape. Most of
the compositions herein found are those which are capable of
undergoing a change from a fluent to a nonfluent condition,
or from a solid noncoherent form to a solid coherent form,
which changes may be effected in any or more of the
followings ways:
(a) By setting, e.g., concrete:
(b) By chemical reaction or conversion, e.g., viscose;
(c) By removal of solvents or vehicles, e.g., lacquers;
(d) By solidification from a molten state, e.g., asphalt or
sulfur.
This class takes all such compositions unless more
specifically provided for in other main classes, for which
see the notes below under the heading "Coating or Plastic
Compositions Elsewhere Classified".
The term "coating" is used throughout the definitions and
notes of this class to include "impregnating".
(2) Materials or ingredients, not in themselves coating,
impregnating or plastic compositions which are for use in
such compositions and for which there is no provision
elsewhere. Fillers or pigments for use in rubber, synthetic
resins or paper are also included in this class.
(3) The line followed between sections 1 and 2 is, that
patents broadly claiming coating or plastic compositions,
wherein the only ingredients named do not by themselves form
coating or plastic compositions, are classified in the
appropriate subclasses under the heading "Materials or
Ingredients", unless the coating or plastic composition has a
characteristic or property specifically provided for above.
Thus "a paint comprising a specific pigment" is classified on
the basis of the pigment because paints as such are not
provided for; however, "an ink comprising a specific pigment"
would be placed under "Inks" since inks are provided for as
such.
(4) This class takes processes for preparing or making the
compositions, materials, or ingredients classified herein,
which processes are classified with the corresponding
composition, material or ingredient. It does not, however,
include processes which are clearly distinct from the
composition, material or ingredient, and which are more
specifically provided for elsewhere. See the appropriate
notes below for the lines with the pertinent process
classes.
(5) This class does not include patents which are limited to
apparatus only, for which see the appropriate apparatus
classes. Patents containing a claim to a composition and/or
process of preparing same within this class and a claim to
apparatus employed in the preparation of the composition are
classified on the basis of the composition or process and
cross-referenced to the appropriate apparatus class.
NOTES
It is the present office policy to classify article patents
wherein the claims mention the article by name only and
define the same only in terms of the composition or material
of which it is composed, in the appropriate composition or
material class. The collection of these patents and
reclassification thereof into the composition or material
classes is under way, and as a corollary thereto patents
claiming a composition or material for an art use heretofore
classified in the art classes are also being transferred to
the appropriate composition or material class. The subsequent
notes indicate the extent of this work as of June 1953 and as
the remaining use classes are inspected, the article and use
patents will be transferred into the appropriate composition
or material class.
LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
ARTICLES DEFINED BY COMPOSITION.
(A) The line in general between this class and the article
classes is as follows: Where there are claims to the
composition and claims to articles made therefrom, mentioned
by name only with no inclusion of structure and defined only
in terms of the composition, such patents are classified as
originals in the appropriate composition subclasses of this
class (106). Patents wherein all the claims are limited to a
named article, mentioned by name only with no inclusion of
structure and defined only in terms of the composition, are
also classified as originals in this class except as noted in
"B" below. Where there is claimed significant structure of
the article, the patent is classified in the appropriate
class providing for the same whether or not there is also
present a claim to the composition (see Note C, below).
(B) See the References to Other Classes, below, for named
articles defined only by compositions. Some of the article
classes also provide for the composition, per se, when
specialized for the article classified therein and these
classes are indicated in the succeeding references to the
article class and in the notes under the section "Coating or
Plastic Compositions Elsewhere Classified".
(C) See References to Other Classes, below, for named
articles wherein there is claimed significant structure of
the article whether or not there are claims to the
composition of which the article is composed:
COATING OR PLASTIC COMPOSITIONS ELSEWHERE CLASSIFIED.
(A) The rules for determining Class placement of the Original
Reference (OR) for claimed chemical compositions are set
forth in the Class Definition of Class 252 in the section
L INES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS, subsection
COMPOSITION CLASS SUPERIORITY, which includes a hierarchical
ORDER OF SUPERIORITY FOR COMPOSITION CLASSES.
(1) Compositions are in general placed in the appropriate
composition class whether or not they are claimed broadly or
specifically as specialized for a use, property, or function
provided for in some other main class, except as noted below
under B.
(2) Compositions which are disclosed as having a plurality of
uses, properties or functions provided for in different main
classes and only a single use, property or function is
claimed, are placed in the composition providing for such
claimed use, property or function and cross-referenced to
other classes for disclosed uses, properties or functions
when desirable.
(3) A list of superiority of composition classes appears in
the main class definition of Class 252, Compositions, Lines
With Other Classes. This note in Class 252 explains
classification of a generic composition with several
disclosed uses.
The superiority list below is not intended as a complete list
and will be expanded or added to as the relationship between
other classes containing compositions and the above listed
classes is determined.

MATERIAL OR INGREDIENTS.
See References to Other Classes, below, identified as
material or ingredients classes.
PROCESSES OF PREPARING COMPOSITIONS.
(A) The character of compositions included within Class 106
is such that they are generally capable of being prepared in
molds or on surfaces. Where the locus of the preparation is
merely incidental to the making of the composition, and no
significant molding or coating step is claimed, such
processes are classified with the composition in this class
(106).
(B) See References to Other Classes identified as for
processes which include the preparation of coating or plastic
compositions.

which is classified in Class 252, subclass 567. (named
articles defined only by compositions)
252, Compositions, is the generic class for compositions of
matter. (1) Where a use, property or function provided for in
Class 252 is claimed, the composition belongs in Class 252.
See the notes to the main class definition of Class 252 for
references to other classes having nonplastic or noncoating
compositions: (2) See the reference to Class 252 in (1) Note,
Part B, for the coating and plastic compositions included in
Class 252. Patent discloses species, all of which belong in
Class 523, 1 and claims broadly a composition which is not
limited to the subject matter of said classes, the patent is
placed in Class 520 in the subclasses first appearing therein
provided for the disclosed species. Patents containing
composition claims differing in scope only, some of which
standing alone, belong in Class 106, and some in Class 520
are placed as originals and cross-referenced to Class 106
when desirable. (for coating or plastic compositions
elsewhere classified)
260, Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, its daughter Classes
530-570 and Class 585, Chemistry, Hydrocarbons for single
carbon compounds, including mixtures of carbon compounds
resulting from a reaction or synthesis provided for in said
class, which are new, even though they have a claimed
utility, property or function provided for in this class
(106), and processes of preparing carbon compounds. Class
260, etc., includes compositions which contain definite
chemical compounds of dyestuff or pigment compounds with
metals. Carbons coloring compounds which are produced in the
presence of a preformed substratum, wherein novelty is
alleged to reside in the combination or in the amount, form
or nature of the substratum, are in this class (106);
however, where the substratum is synthesized simultaneously
with the carbon compound, the product belongs in class 260
Classes 530-570 or Class 585. (for materials or ingredients)
264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating:
Processes, 219 for processes within the class definition,
including the step of making the mold (including mold making,
per se), and subclasses 337+ pertaining to the use of
particular mold materials. (class for named articles with
claimed significant structure of the article whether or not
there are claims to article's composition)
264, Plastic and Nonmetallic Article Shaping or Treating:
Processes, for processes of molding or shaping compositions
of matter which include significant molding or shaping
operation. The line between this class (106) and Class 264 is
as follows: Class 106 takes processes of making compositions
within the class definition even though including the step of
molding, when such step is claimed broadly. Broad references
to extruding, spinning into a setting medium (without naming
the medium) or sheeting in a claim to the preparation of a
composition of matter, are considered broad molding steps.
Also the statement that heat and pressure are used during the
molding, whether or not specific temperatures or specific
pressures are recited, is not considered sufficient of itself
to take a patent claiming a process of preparing a
composition out of this class (106). For a more detailed
discussion of the line between Class 264 and the composition
classes see the definition of Class 264. (processes including
preparation of coating or plastic compositions)

also claims a process of coating, the patent is classified in
Class 427 if the process is "significant", and in Class 106
if the process is not "significant". For a definition of
"significant" process see the class definition of Class 427.
(processes including preparation of coating or plastic
compositions)
428, Stock Material or Miscellaneous Articles. Except for
subject matter classifiable in Class 428, 544, the line
between this class (106) and Class 428 is as follows: A
patent containing a claim to a product classifiable in Class
428, but with no significant structural limitation recited,
and a claim to a coating material of the Class 106 type,
which material is included as at least part of the claimed
