DEFINITION

Classification: 400/137

Check-protection character:

(under subclass 135) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to the formation or character* symbols on a form that directs a bank of financial institution to pay money, or a form that shows the amount of money to be paid for value received.

(1) Note. The significance of the particular form of character in the typewriter of this and indented subclasses is that such characters cannot be altered without detection; thus, the amount of money that the check represents will not be raised in value.
