Descriptions for B29C and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    This subclass covers:[4,5,2017.01]
      shaping or joining of plastics;shaping of material in a plastic state when a specific material is not identified;shaping of material in a plastic state, not otherwise provided for.
    This subclass does not cover:
      working of plastics sheet material in a manner analogous to the working of paper, which is covered by class B31;shaping of materials provided for elsewhere, e.g. of metal, clay or foodstuffs.
    Attention is drawn to Note (3) following the title of class B29.In this subclass:
      repairing of articles made from plastics or material in a plastic state, e.g. of articles shaped or produced by using techniques covered by this subclass or subclass B29D, is classified in group B29C 73/00;component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are applicable to more than one moulding technique are classified in groups B29C 31/00-B29C 37/00;component parts, details, accessories or auxiliary operations which are only applicable or only of use for one specific shaping technique are classified only in the relevant subgroups of groups B29C 39/00-B29C 71/00.
    In this subclass, it is desirable to add the indexing codes of subclasses B29K and B29L.
