Description

The sole FIGURE is a top plan view of a pattern for an embossed paper product showing our new design.

The pattern of the claimed design may be applied to either a single or multi-ply paper product and is preferable applied to a tissue or towel product. Most preferably, the design is applied to a paper towel. The broken line boundaries depict the embossed paper product to which the pattern is applied, as well as represent the boundaries of the claimed design. The claimed design repeats uniformly throughout the length and width of the paper product, which is understood to extend indeterminately in one or more directions. The broken lines form no part of the claimed design.
