DEFINITION

Classification: 343/709

(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein the active antenna is combined with, or has at least a part in common with at least a part of a device peculiarly adapted for travel or to be suspended in water, such as a surface ship, submarine, torpedo, buoy or other floating structure and wherein a significant relationship exists between the device and the active antenna.

(1) Note. A significant relationship exists when the details of the active antenna cooperate with details of the watercraft device, as when the antenna is shaped in accordance with the shape of the device.

(2) Note. Where the device with which the antenna is combined is a vehicle not peculiarly adapted or limited to travel or be suspended in the water, classification is not here but in subclasses 711+ below, as qualified by (3) Note immediately following.

(3) Note. Combinations of an antenna and watercraft when the watercraft is a mere support, and the antenna could be supported as well on some other object, are not classified in this subclass, but in subclasses 878+ below.

(4) Note. Water buoyant antennas are classified here.
