This subclass is indented under subclass 1. Compounds under Class 532, ... wherein the acid function is a carboxyl group or a salt thereof.
(1) Note. Classification of salt formation from an acid or acid formation from the salt.
As a general rule a multistep synthesis is classified on the basis of the product produced by the last step of the synthesis. The formation of a salt from the corresponding acid or the "springing" of the acid from the corresponding salt is a synthesis step. However, these steps are so commonly used in final recovery procedures of a synthesis, that classification of a process on the basis of the general rule would result in distortion of the placement of patents where special process subclasses have been provided.
(a) In this classification, where special process subclasses have been provided and the last step of a claimed process appropriate thereto recites a salt formation or a hydrolysis of the salt to the acid, the patent has been placed in the appropriate process subclass.
(b) As a general rule, a claimed process which combines synthesis steps with purification or recovery is classified with the synthesis. In those cases where a subclass has been provided for purification or recovery, per se, and the claimed process appropriate thereto recites a broadly defined salt formation of the correspondidng acid or a broadly defined hydrolysis of a salt to the corresponding acid, the patent has been placed in the appropriate purification or recovery subclass. Where the claimed purification or recovery recites a significant salt formation step or a significant hydrolysis of a salt to the corresponding acid, the patent has been placed in the appropriate product subclass and cross-referenced to the purification or recovery subclass.
