Description

The sole FIGURE is a top plan view of a repeating pattern for an embossed paper product embodying our design. The pattern of the claimed design may be applied to either a single or multi-ply paper product.

The outer broken line boundaries depict the sheet material to which the repeating pattern is applied, as well as indicate that the pattern repeats indeterminately in all directions. The dot/dash/dot boundaries in the drawing depict a single repeat unit. The broken and dot-dash-dot lines form no part of the claimed design.
