DEFINITION

Classification: 24/381

ZIPPER OR REQUIRED COMPONENT THEREOF:

(under the class definition) Subject matter comprising a zipper* or a required component of a zipper* (i.e., interlocking configured surface or sliding device).

(1) Note. An interlocking configured surface which is disclosed as having both utility as a subcomponent of a zipper* and as a separable-fastener* is classified here and crossed to separable-fastener*.

(2) Note. See the class definition for patent placement procedure.
