(1)
Note. This class includes material which, as disclosed and
claimed, indicates repetition beyond the limits of the disclosure.
(2)
Note. The material in this class has indeterminate length
or width. Material with specific limits or suggestion thereof (such
as a disclosure of a corner) is classified in another pertinent
Design Class such as D6, D11, or D25. However, singular pattern segments
or material with disclosed limits which are not identified as subject
matter for other classes are classified in this Class, subclass
63 and indented subclasses.

in all directions and a border pattern that repeats or continues
in two directions.

(2)
Note. Includes combined overall and border pattern.
This subclass is indented under subclass 4. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that shows the ornamental appearance of another article as applied
ornamentation.
(1)
Note. The search for sheet material that simulates the appearance
of another object should also include the appropriate Design Class
and subclass(es) for the actual object being simulated.
This subclass is indented under subclass 5. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate flowers, foliage, vines, trees or similar organic
material.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design that includes a pattern or ornament that continues
in one direction such as a border or trim band or the like.
(1)
Note. Exclusive of selvage.
(2)
Note. If the disclosure shows a repetition of a pattern bidirectionally,
the patent should be classified under the following main line subclasses.
This subclass is indented under subclass 7. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that shows the ornamental appearance of another article as applied
ornamentation.
(1)
Note. The search for sheet material that simulates the appearance
of another object should also include the appropriate Design Class
and subclass(es) for the actual object being simulated.
This subclass is indented under subclass 8. Design characterized by symbols or applied ornamentation
relating to the commemoration of a particular event or a spiritual
feast day.
This subclass is indented under subclass 11. Design that is a mirror image on the front and rear sides
or shows one side that is a mirror image of the side opposite.
This subclass is indented under subclass 8. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate flowers, foliage, vines, trees, or similar organic
material.
This subclass is indented under subclass 16. Design that is a mirror image on front and rear sides
or shows one side that is a mirror image of the side opposite.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features that
simulate the ornamental appearance of another object either as applied ornamentation
or in form.
(1)
Note. The search for a hand fan that simulates the appearance
of another object should also include the appropriate Design Class
and subclass(es) for the actual object.
This subclass is indented under subclass 23. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate flowers, foliage, vines, trees, or similar organic
life.
This subclass is indented under subclass 20. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate flowers, foliage, vines, trees, or similar organic
material.
This subclass is indented under subclass 32. Design that includes a representation of another article
that is not plant life or a plant container or a ribbon or bow.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design characterized by a pattern consisting of stripes
or lines of varying width, spacing, or contrast that intersect or
cross at right angles to one another.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design characterized by a pattern having a structure of
interwoven fibers or linear elements that may include open spaces.
(1)
Note. For classification in this or in indented subclasses,
the weave or texture itself must create the pattern as distinguished
from the pattern being applied to the material.
(2)
Note. Texture must be clearly indicated by shading or by end
or cross-sectional views.
This subclass is indented under subclass 47. Design directed to material woven from strips of synthetic
or natural occurring fiber such as rattan or bamboo.
This subclass is indented under subclass 47. Design directed to material that is sewn or stitched
into decorative rows, parallel rows or by geometric forms.
(1)
Note. Texture must be clearly indicated by shading or by end
or cross-sectional views.
This subclass is indented under subclass 47. Design directed to material that is characterized by
irregular material thickness or by a pattern of bosses or depressions.
(1)
Note. Embossing or puffing must be clearly indicated by shading
or by end or cross-sectional views.
This subclass is indented under subclass 47. Design directed to material formed of woven or intertwined
metallic element, alloy, or metal-like filament.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design characterized by a pattern of elements or lines that
bend or undulate sharply in alternating directions.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design characterized by ornamentation that is structured
within or a defined or implied framework of parallel or crisscrossed
lines or bars.
(1)
Note. Pattern may be applied or conformed to a grid base.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design characterized by ornamentation that includes a single
element that repeats in an alternate orientation or mirror image
of itself or is regularly interspersed with one or more similarly
repeating design elements.
LINEAR ARRANGEMENT OF ADJACENT PATTERN ELEMENTS, OR STRIATED
SHAPES:
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design that includes stripes or the placement of single
or alternating ornamental forms in a straight line.
RANDOM ARRANGEMENT OF PATTERN ELEMENTS WITHIN REPEAT UNIT:
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design that shows no discernible repetition or pattern of
ornamental features within the basic panel.
(1)
Note. If repeat protocol is apparent from the disclosure,
patent is classified into earlier main line subclasses.
This subclass is indented under subclass 63. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate the ornamental appearance of another object either
as applied ornamentation.
(1)
Note. The search for textile or sheet material that simulates
the appearance of another object should also include the appropriate
Design Class and subclass(es) for the actual object.
(2)
Note. Includes letter, numeral, or punctuation.
This subclass is indented under subclass 64. Design that includes an ornamental feature or features
that simulate flowers, foliage, vines, trees, or similar organic
material.
This subclass is indented under the class definition. Design that relates to textile or paper yard goods; sheet
material, not elsewhere provided for.
(1)
Note. Some early patents are classified in this subclass because
they (a) lack drawing disclosure or specifications, or (b) the clarity
of disclosure is insufficient to accurately place them earlier in the
schedule. For example, because of age, some drawings have faded
to the point of being unreadable. In others, drawing techniques
that do not employ current practice are inadequate to convey the
extent or rhythm of the repeat pattern.
