Abstract
Abstract A label (10) for application to a support surface. The label includes a moisture dissipative layer (20) applied to a major surface (16) of a sheet member (12). A layer of pressure sensitive adhesive (22) is applied to the moisture dissipative layer (20) opposite the sheet member (12) for securing the label (10) to a support surface. The label (10) may be removed from the support surface without damage to the label by dissipating the moisture dissipative layer (20).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
A label (10) for use with a support surface including a sheet member (12) having first and second opposing major surfaces (14,16); the invention characterized by: (a) a layer (20) of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface (16) of said sheet member (12); and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive (22) applied to said moisture dissipative layer (20) opposite said second major surface (16) of said sheet member (12) for adhering said sheet member to the support surface; (c) so that said sheet member (12) may be removed without damage from the support surface by dissipating said moisture dissipative layer (20).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
A label (10) for use with a support surface including a sheet member (12) having first and second opposing major surfaces (14,16); the invention characterized by: (a) a layer (20) of moisture dissipative material applied to said second major surface (16) of said sheet member (12); and (b) a pressure sensitive adhesive (22) applied to said moisture dissipative layer (20) opposite said second major surface (16) of said sheet member (12) for adhering said sheet member to the support surface; (c) so that said sheet member (12) may be removed without damage from the support surface by dissipating said moisture dissipative layer (20).
