  • Patent number: 10696871
    Abstract: A pressure-sensitive adhesive transfer tape that may have on one surface of a release substrate made of paper or a plastic film, a pressure-sensitive transfer layer having an adhesion inhibiting layer and an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesion inhibiting layer and the adhesive layer are successively stacked on one another.
