Patent Language

I’m researching patents held for “bumper sticker holders.”  I’m not going to go into why, but I will share some very interesting language I encountered in one patent application…

It is known that so called “bumper stickers” are widely disseminated with a wide variety of printed legends thereon ranging from sincere advocation of a cause, person, or organization to humorous comments about timely subjects.  Such stickers are normally provided as a printed strip with an adhesive backing covered by a tear strip or removable sheet and they are adapted to adhered to the bumper of the vehicle.
