Title:
A METHOD OF PRODUCING ORGANIC EMULSIFIERS AND ORGANIC SURFACTANTS, PRODUCTS PRODUCED BY SAID METHOD, AND THE USE OF SUCH PRODUCTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2000/072953
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of producing organic emulsifiers and organic surfactants and to the organic emulsifiers and organic surfactants produced by said method. This production is possible by using oil or fat from organically produced sources, e.g. organically produced plants or animals, in the preparation of the emulsifiers and surfactants. When the emulsifiers and surfactants of the present invention are used in the production of organic end-products such as organic cosmetics, organic foods, organic pharmaceuticals, organic technicals and organic detergent compositions, these end-products will be fully organic. Examples of organic products according the present invention are organic cosmetics, organic foods, organic pharmaceuticals, organic technicals and organic detergent compositions of superior quality.

D Claims Nos.: because they relate to subject matter not required to be searched by this Authority, namely: Claims Nos. : 1-24 because they relate to parts of the international application that do not comply with the prescribed requirements to such an extent that no meaningful international search can be carried out, specifically: see next sheet 3. n Claims Nos.: because they are dependent claims and are not drafted in accordance with the second and third sentences of Rule 6.4 (a). : Box II Observations where unity of invention is lacking (Continuation of item 2 of first sheet) This International Searching Authority found multiple inventions in this international application, as follows: 1. As all required additional search fees were timely paid by the applicant, this international search report covers all searchable claims. 2. As all searchable claims could be searched without effort justifying an additional fee, this Authority did not invite payment of any additional fee. 3. As only some of the required additional search fees were timely paid by the applicant, this international search report covers only those claims for which fees were paid, specifically claims Nos.: No required additional search fees were timely paid by the applicant. Consequently, this international search report is restricted to the invention first mentioned in the claims; it is covered by claims Nos.: Remark on Protest The additional search fees were accompanied by the applicant's protest. No protest accompanied the payment of additional search fees. ForinPCT/ISA/210 (continuation-.-, rst sheet (1)) (July 1992) INTERNATIONAL SEARCH REPORT International application No. PCT/DK00/00293 Present claims 1-24 relate to an extremely large number of possible compounds obtained from a method. In fact, the claims contain so many options, possible permutations and provisos that a lack of clarity and conciseness within the meaning of Article 6 PCT arises to such an extent as to render a meaningful search of the claims impossible. The search has been limited to a general view of the technical field.
