D03DWOVEN FABRICSMETHODS OF WEAVINGLOOMSClass D06 takes precedence over this subclass in respect of processes involving both weaving and finishing steps and in respect of the finished fabrics.A method of weaving is classified in the group designating the fabric woven unless the method is characterised by the operation of a particular loom rather than by the production of a particular fabric. In this case, the method is classified in the group for the loom.In this subclass, further classification in indexing scheme D10B for aspects relating to textiles is required. In this subclass, if there is any doubt as to which of the essential features is the most important (this is usually the most restrictive feature), the groups designating woven fabrics should be considered in the order in which they appear at each level of indentation, except that groups designating woven pile fabrics are to be considered as taking precedence over groups designating other woven fabrics. In this subclass non-limiting references (in the sense of paragraph 39 of the Guide to the IPC) may still be displayed in the scheme.
