Product or stock material not provided for in any preceding subclass in this class or where no other classification exists.
(1) Note. Examples of products found in this subclass are: a mass of filaments of no definite structure, mixtures of strands or strips of no definite structure, etc.
(2) Note. A surface modified so as to form a chemical composition or compound is classified in the appropriate compound or composition class, e.g., 106 or 260.
(3) Note. No patent should be placed in this subclass before consulting the "Index to U.S. Patent Classification" for a more appropriate class and subclass.
(4) Note. The search notes below indicate classes and subclasses frequently overlooked in mistakenly deciding that an article is "miscellaneous".
