Click here for a printable version of this file

SECTION I - CLASS DEFINITION

This class provides for design patents claiming ornamental designs for:

1. Clock or Clock Case

2. Watch, Wristwatch or Case

3. Time-Measuring Instrument or Casing

4. Measuring, Regulating or Indicating Instrument or Casing

5. Security or Signal Instrument or Casing

6. Dial, Indicator Hand or Other Element of Attachment

(1) Note. Design patents in this class are classified by what is claimed and shown in full lines only. Broken, hatched or stippled lines, which may be included in design patent drawings, are considered as environment only.

(2) Note. Includes, in indented subclasses, elements or attachments which are used only with particular instruments and which cannot be placed in another class. When elements are common to more than a single instrument that are classified in different subclasses, these elements are classified in the last section the class schedule
