Class 504
PLANT PROTECTING AND REGULATING COMPOSITIONS
Class Definition:
STATEMENT OF CLASS SUBJECT MATTER
This class provides for compositions for treating living
terrestrial and aquatic plants or their habitats for the
purpose of stimulating or inhibiting growth, or any
regulating action on plant growth, and the processes of using
such compositions or compounds, per se, for such purposes
which are not more than their mere application to the plant
or habitat. The compositions or compounds included in this
class will alter the plant growth through a chemical
modification of the plant metabolism.
This class also provides for: (1) Seeds coated or impregnated
with agricultural chemicals other than fertilizers, e.g.,
antidotes, plant growth regulators, micro-organisms,
fungicides, disinfectants, etc. (2) Processes and their
products which are of definite fertilizer value and are also
insecticides, fungicides, or deodorants. These patents are
cross-referenced to Classes 424 and 514. (3) Antidotal
compositions, i.e., compositions which contain compounds
capable of protecting cultivated plants from being damaged by
herbicidal chemicals without affecting the herbicidal action
of said chemicals against the weeds or unwanted plants to be
controlled. (4) Soil life extenders, i.e., compositions which
contain a herbicide and a compound useful for extending the
soil life of said herbicide. (5) Compositions for preserving
cut flowers. (6) Compositions for stimulating or increasing
the sprouting of seeds, roots, tubers, or bulbs. (7)
Compositions for regulating aquatic plants, particularly
algae. (8) Compositions for regulating plant growth which use
micro-organisms or products derived therefrom.
CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES FOR THIS CLASS
In this class the chemical structure of the ingredient
disclosed as having a utility set forth in the Statement of
Class Subject Matter, above, is used as the primary basis of
classification. Processes of using compositions or compounds,
per se, and processes of making compositions, not provided
for elsewhere are classified in the first appearing subclass
providing for the particular active ingredient being employed
or prepared.
The subclasses drawn to plural active ingredients include
compositions which contain two or more active plant growth
regulating agents, e.g., two or more herbicides.
No weight is given to a synergist or potentiator agent in
classifying a composition for this class unless the synergist
or potentiator agent is also an active plant growth
regulator.
A patent claiming a Class 504 active ingredient broadly in
terms of its function in combination with a specific adjuvant
or carrier has been classified as original in the first
appearing subclass providing for any one of the disclosed
specific active ingredients and cross-referenced to all other
subclasses providing for the remaining disclosed active
ingredients.
(1) Note. Compounds included within this definition, but not
considered organic are hydrocyanic acid, cyanogen, isocyanic
acid, cyanamide, dicyanamide, cyanogen halides, isothiocyanic
acid, fulminic acid, and metal carbides.
LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS
GENERAL GUIDELINES:
(1) Compositions which are disclosed as having a plurality of
functions provided for in different main classes and only a
single use, property, or function is claimed, are originally
classified in the composition class providing for such
claimed use, property, or function and cross-referenced to
other classes for disclosed uses, properties, or functions
when desirable.
(2) 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
LINES WITH OTHER CLASSES AND WITHIN THIS CLASS, subsection
COMPOSITION CLASS SUPERIORITY, which includes a hierarchical
ORDER OF SUPERIORITY FOR COMPOSITION CLASSES.
SEARCHING OF FOREIGN PATENTS IN THIS CLASS (504)
The foreign patents for subclasses 100 and 103-357 of Class
504 have been placed in the International Patent
Classification System (in subclass A01N) and will be searched
in that system according to its rules of classification.

eradicated, the patent is placed as an original in Class 424
or 514 when only a Class 424 or 514 type of "pest" (e.g.,
fungi, insect, rodent, etc.) is revealed in the patent
disclosure. However, if both Class 504 and Class 424 or 514
types of "pest" are specifically disclosed or if no
disclosure is made as to the specific type of pest, the
patent is placed in Class 504 as an original and
cross-referenced to Class 424 or 514.
