DEFINITION

Classification: 463/7

In a game requiring an element of a participant's physical skill or ability (e.g., hand-eye coordination, reflex, etc.):

(under subclass 1) An electronic data processing application that includes as an element of play, operation, or outcome thereof; a participant's speed, strength, dexterity, or other bodily capacity; or a simulation of a game or contest that requires such an element.

(1) Note. Bodily capacity refers to the physical capacity of a participant, as opposed to a mental capacity (e.g, strategy or problem solving speed). While all voluntary motion involves a mental element, it is a contest-determinative, reflex-type action or other like physical manifestation of a mental process that is required for this subclass, which is to be distinguished from a mere physical motion used to, for example, push an appropriate button to indicate when a thought-provoking mental challenge has been completed.
