WEARING APPAREL

Description

A41 covers garments and clothing items designed to be worn on the human body, including everyday apparel such as shirts, trousers, dresses, coats, and underwear. The class encompasses the design, construction, and functional features of wearing apparel, including closures, fastenings, and structural elements that contribute to fit and wearability. Related technologies such as protective clothing, sports apparel, and accessories integral to garment function also fall within this scope. Patent applications addressing novel materials, manufacturing techniques, or functional improvements to clothing articles are typically classified here rather than in adjacent mechanical or material-specific classes.
