(under subclass 700) Subject matter wherein the antenna is formed of conductive strips or strands in mesh, braided, or woven form, or interwoven with non-conductor strips or strands, or wherein the antenna is formed of multiple conductive strips in sheet or planar form not provided for elsewhere.
(1) Note. A mere fabric of insulating material with metallic conductors interwoven therewith or a metal fabric which may be used as an antenna is not classified here, but in such classes as 66, Textiles: Knitting, subclass 202, 87, Textiles: Braiding, Netting, and Lace Making, subclasses 1 through 13, or 139, Textiles: Weaving, subclass 425. See the Search Notes below for a more detailed fabric search. For classification in this subclass there must be claimed some limitation which peculiarly adapts the fabric structure to antenna operation, such as the antenna leadin.
