COMBINED WITH OR CONVERTIBLE TO EXTERNAL ART DEVICE ORFUNCTION:
(under the class definition) A game including either: (a) subject matter in addition to game subject matter wherein the additional subject matter has utility both outside of the class definition and independent of the game subject matter, and where neither the utility of the game subject matter nor the utility of the additional subject matter is destroyed by removal or separation of the additional subject matter from the game subject matter; or (b) a game under the class definition which may be altered to subject matter having utility other than a game under the class definition.
(1) Note. The utility of the additional subject matter must be both diverse and independent from game subject matter. Thus, game scoring or reporting, which, per se, is classifiable outside of this class, is not considered to be independent from game subject matter and is therefore not properly placed in this subclass. Such subject matter, when combined with a game, is properly classified with the particular game. Likewise, a game table combined with a game board for supporting said board is considered not to be independent of the game because it properly positions the board for play, and it is therefore properly classified with the game board, even though the table is inherently capable
of having another utility. However, if such a table has positively recited means for altering the table to a function independent from game utility or support (e.g., a table with a work support), then classification is proper herein.
