(under subclass 156) Product, wherein a nonplanar surface of a variable thickness layer comes into contact with an adjacent layer (or a component thereof) in such a manner as to define therebetween individual or interconnected three-dimensional zones, either separate or interconnected.
(1) Note. The spaces may be empty or occupied, in whole or in part, by a filler material.
