Read a random definition: maine-port

A quick definition of composition of matter:

Composition of matter refers to the combination of natural elements, whether they are mixed mechanically or chemically. This includes things like chemical compounds, physical products, and new life forms created through genetic engineering. The focus is always on the substance itself, rather than its shape or form. It is one of the five types of patentable statutory subject matter.

A more thorough explanation:

Composition of matter is a type of patentable subject matter that includes combinations of natural elements resulting from chemical union or mechanical mixture. It can be in the form of gases, fluids, powders, or solids. The subject matter always refers to the substance itself, rather than its form or shape.

Examples of composition of matter include:

Chemical compounds such as drugs and fuels
Physical products such as plastics and particleboard
New life forms made by genetic engineering

These examples illustrate how composition of matter can refer to a wide range of substances, from chemicals to physical products to living organisms. The focus is always on the substance itself, rather than how it is made or its shape.

"But I also want to end on this note. Don't be afraid of being wrong. And what I mean by that is, being wrong about a school. I applied to Princeton coming out of high school and didn't get in. I ended up going to Vanderbilt. I could never see myself having gone anywhere but Vanderbilt." -Spivey
