Rapporteur's original Comments or proposal counterproposals OTHER FURNITURE, OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR FURNITURE 95/00, 97/00 RO: We consider changing the subclass index title into “Other furniture, other accessories for furniture 95/00, 97/00" as affecting the scope in relation to 95/00. In 95/00 the fittings for furniture are the accessories for furniture and only in 97/00 there are other accessories, together with other furniture. For the Subclass Index, our proposal is as follows: ACCESSORIES FOR FURNITURE...95/00 OTHER FURNITURE, OTHER ACCESSORIES FOR FURNITURE...97/00
Rapporteur's opinion Rapporteur sees the point made by RO, the difference between "details" and "accessories" is not very clear. However, the RO proposal would not work. Rapporteur instead proposes to replace both the two last entries of the subclass index.

EP: We think the title R agrees with EP and RO should read: “Equipment for forms not provided for in groups 39/02 to 39/10” Since there is no first-place priority rule in this area, it seems to be clearer to use such a wording. For example, when the subject matter concerns “equipment for adjustable forms”, we might want it to be classified in 39/02. RO: We would prefer the suggestions made by EPO

Rapporteur's opinion R still thinks the reference to "miscellaneous motors" can simply be removed. It is in a class title, so it does not affect scope. Looking at the subclass titles, the only unprovided-for matter is "inertia or like motors" in F03G, so the residual status is anyway incorrect. If this degree of precision is considered necessary in a class title R suggests replacing "OR MISCELLANEOUS" with "INERTIA, OR LIKE", otherwise it seems perfectly adequate to have those motors covered by the last part of the class title. The class title should in any case not remain residual for all kinds of motors. See "General question 2"
