DEFINITION

Classification: 52/169.1

(under the class definition) Structure including a claimed feature of the earth or relationship to the earth, e.g., grade level, material between a wall and the earth, underground structures resisting external objects, position in the earth, etc.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
