Abstract
A label for a soft drink bottle or other container. The label is an elongated strip of flexible material having first and second ends, inner and outer surfaces and upper and lower edges. A first quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip adjacent to the first end, a second quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip adjacent to the second end, and a third quantity of adhesive is applied to the inner surface of the strip in a region spaced from the first and second ends. A tear line extends laterally across the strip between the upper and lower edges, the tear line being positioned adjacent to the third quantity of adhesive between the third quantity of adhesive and the second end of the strip, and defines an adhesive-free area on the inner surface between the tear line and the second quantity of adhesive. The material of the strip comprising a tamper-evident layer that provides clear indication of peeling of the second end of the strip and/or tearing along the tear line. The invention also relates to a container with such a label and apparatus for applying the label.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
