DEFINITION

Classification: 404/44

(under subclass 34) Preformed module structure comprising two or more distinct and dissimilar materials united to form a module.

(1) Note. The dissimilar materials are not "mixed". Rather, they form distinct molded or otherwise shaped portions of the module.

(2) Note. Plural wood laminate or similar strips together with variations in the grain orientation is not considered composite structure for this subclass, see subclass 46.

(3) Note. A reinforcement external of, or encasing, a module-and of dissimilar material is considered to constitute composite structure for this subclass. On the other hand, dissimilar material of grid, mesh, bar or rod form substantially embedded within the structure of a module is considered to be reinforcement for subclass 45.
