.~.~ Nonuniform or noncoextensive layer added to finished imaged product
DEFINITION
Classification: 430/12
Nonuniform or noncoextensive layer added to finished imaged product:
(under subclass 11) Products wherein after an image has been finished to its desired final state another layer has been added to the product which layer is either nonuniform in physical dimensions or physical or chemical properties or which layer is not coextensive with the imaged product. The nonuniformity may, e.g., be in thickness or color, or the added layer may be added to only a part of the imaged product. The nonuniformity may be as a wrinkled, stippled, marbleized, or wood grain effect. There must be intent to produce a nonuniform layer, thus coating a previously roughened imaged product which necessarily results in a nonuniform coating is not included.
(1) Note. Addition of a layer by a step or metal working
mechanical manufacture is placed in the appropriate class for the mechanical manufacturing step.
