Description

A63C covers ice skates, roller skates, skis, and related footwear devices designed for gliding or sliding on surfaces, along with the structural design and layout of facilities where these activities occur. This includes innovations in skate blade materials, fastening mechanisms, boot construction, ski bindings, and architectural or engineering solutions for ice rinks, roller skating rinks, and ski slopes. The classification excludes general footwear design (covered under A43) and focuses specifically on equipment and infrastructure integral to skating and skiing sports.
