Classification: 65/430

With significant coating step:

(under subclass 385) Processes including a recitation of a specific step used to apply a coating to the optical fiber, waveguide, or preform.

(1) Note. A specific recitation of how a coating is applied (e.g., brushing, dipping, spraying, immersion, etc.) is considered significant, and is properly classified here.

(2) Note. In this and indented subclasses coatings or clads are generally applied to protect a newly formed optical fiber or waveguide.
