Description

The present application may also be considered to be related to co-pending U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/220,493 filed Dec. 30, 2004, in the name of inventor Ronald A. Oliver, entitled "Radio Frequency Identification Tag Antenna Assembly", commonly owned herewith.

The present application may also be considered to be related to co-pending U.S. Design patent application Ser. No. 29/220,496 filed Dec. 30, 2004, in the name of inventor Ronald A. Oliver, entitled "Radio Frequency Identification Tag Antenna Assembly", commonly owned herewith.

FIG. 1 is a top plan view of a radio frequency identification tag antenna assembly showing our new design, the bottom being flat;

FIG. 2 is a left side elevation view thereof, the right side elevation view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof, the rear elevation view being a mirror image thereof; and,

FIG. 4 is a front perspective view thereof.

The broken line showing of a chip at the center of the antenna depicts environment only and forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims
