DEFINITION

Classification: 424/10.3

Color or color change feature:

(under subclass 10.1) Subject matter in which the identification or warning involves a color or color change.

(1) Note. Included in this subclass are pills containing colored specks to identify toxic substances, biocides which show a temporary color when applied to indicate where application has occurred, drugs which change color to indicate a change in pH, etc.

(2) Note. The use of color merely to make a Class 424 or Class 514 compound or composition more attractive is not considered a means of identification or warning proper for this or the indented subclasses. Therefore, pills, capsules, toothpastes, cosmetics, etc. which are colored merely for looks, are classified elsewhere in Class 424 or Class 514 based on their other significant features or their active ingredients.
