DEFINITION

Classification: 473/473

For game using field or court having dividing means thereon for separating opponents (e.g., a net used for volleyball, etc.):

(under subclass 465) Playing field or court game wherein the game or sport is played on a playing area having means adapted and intended to break the playing area into two or more compartments, subareas, or sections; which compartments, subareas, or sections function to separate opponents playing a competitive playing field or court game from one another.

(1) Note. The field- or court-dividing means may comprise a net, fence, wall, rope, chain, curtain, or a line or zone marking located on or otherwise located within the confines of the playing area or located in the vicinity of the boundary of the playing area.

(2) Note. Although the field- or court-dividing means is usually located within the confines of the playing area, it may also comprise means located at or in the vicinity of the outer boundary marking structure or enclosure. However, this type of dividing means must still function to at least help break the playing area into two or more compartments, subareas, or sections. An example of this type of field- or court- dividing means might be one or more markers spaced along the length of a field or court for assisting in defining real or imaginary lines across the width of the playing area of the field or court.
