DEFINITION

Classification: 514/772

DESIGNATED ORGANIC NONACTIVE INGREDIENT CONTAINING OTHER THAN HYDROCARBON:

(under the class definition) Subject matter wherein the composition contains a nonbioactive organic compound.

(1) Note. This and indented subclasses provide for compositions which (a) do not contain a pharmacologically or biologically active ingredient or which (b) are solely disclosed or claimed as useful as inert additives or carriers for an active ingredient of this class. For example: topical preparations, e.g., face cream, etc., which are not specifically provided for as special subclasses and which do not contain a designated active ingredient are classified in this and indented subclasses.

(2) Note. Within this subclass are compositions which may contain an organic active ingredient which does not meet the definition of the designated organic active ingredient (DOAI).

(3) Note. See section II, Glossary, for the definition of "DOAI".

(4) Note. A claim of the type: "A pharmaceutical composition containing a medicament or drug and 1-20 percent by weight glycerin, 1-10 percent by weight ethyl alcohol and 5-10 percent by weight of an cationic surfactant" is properly classified under this subclass.

516, Colloid Systems and Wetting Agents; Subcombinations Thereof; Processes of Making, Stabilizing, Breaking, or Inhibiting, appropriate subclasses for subject matter relating to: colloid systems (such as sols*, emulsions,

dispersions, foams, aerosols, smokes, gels, or pastes) or wetting agents (such as leveling, penetrating, or spreading); subcombination compositions of colloid systems containing at least an agent specialized and designed for or peculiar to use in making or stabilizing colloid systems; compositions and subcombination compositions specialized and designed for or peculiar to use in breaking (resolving) or inhibiting colloid systems; processes of making the compositions or systems of the class; processes of breaking (resolving) or inhibiting colloid systems; in each instance, when generically claimed or when there is no hierarchically superior provision in the USPC for the specifically claimed art.
