Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 88 words
A multilayered article for use in the manufacture of coded information bearing surfaces which may be electronically decoded comprising: (a) a base having at least one surface which is a layer of a thermoplastic, radiation curable polymeric resin, wherein said layer of polymeric resin exhibits a maximum loss modulus which appears between 30° and 180° C., (b) an embossable electrically conductive or electromagnetic radiation reflective layer over said at least one surface, said embossable layer comprising metal having a thickness in the range of 0.2 to 60 nm.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 88 words
A multilayered article for use in the manufacture of coded information bearing surfaces which may be electronically decoded comprising: (a) a base having at least one surface which is a layer of a thermoplastic, radiation curable polymeric resin, wherein said layer of polymeric resin exhibits a maximum loss modulus which appears between 30° and 180° C., (b) an embossable electrically conductive or electromagnetic radiation reflective layer over said at least one surface, said embossable layer comprising metal having a thickness in the range of 0.2 to 60 nm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 102 words
A multilayered article for use in the manufacture of coded information bearing surfaces which may be electronically decoded comprising: (a) a base having at least one surface which is a layer of a thermoplastic, radiation curable polymeric resin, wherein said layer of polymeric resin exhibits a maximum loss modulus which appears between 30° and 180° C. and said radiation curable polymeric resin contains a multiplicity of acryloyl or methacryloyl groups, (b) an embossable electrically conductive or electromagnetic radiation reflective layer over said at least one surface, said embossable layer comprising metal having a thickness in the range of 0.2 to 60 nm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 102 words
A multilayered article for use in the manufacture of coded information bearing surfaces which may be electronically decoded comprising: (a) a base having at least one surface which is a layer of a thermoplastic, radiation curable polymeric resin, wherein said layer of polymeric resin exhibits a maximum loss modulus which appears between 30° and 180° C. and said radiation curable polymeric resin contains a multiplicity of acryloyl or methacryloyl groups, (b) an embossable electrically conductive or electromagnetic radiation reflective layer over said at least one surface, said embossable layer comprising metal having a thickness in the range of 0.2 to 60 nm.
