Generic patterned conductor for customizable electronic devices
First Claim
1. A continuous multilayered product having a repeating conductive pattern, the multilayered product comprising:
- a first layer of continuous webbing having a least a first portion of the repeating conductive pattern formed thereon; and
a second layer of continuous webbing having a least a second portion of the repeating conductive pattern formed thereon;
wherein the repeating conductive pattern is configured so that the multilayered product is capable of being customized for use in any of a plurality of different end products that utilize the repeating conductive pattern as active elements, and wherein at least one of the first and second portions of the repeating pattern extends at least semi-continuously over a plurality of end products that utilize the repeating conductive pattern as active elements.

Abstract
A method of making a multilayered product having a repeating conductive pattern that includes determining a repeating pattern configuration such as a grid of conductive traces for use in a range of active element configurations, and forming a continuous web of multilayered product having at least one layer of conductive material configured according to the determined repeating pattern configuration. The continuous web is suitable for use in a range of active element configurations. The method may also include altering the continuous web to form a customized active element. Forming the continuous web may include providing a first roll of continuous webbing stock, the first roll having at least a portion of the repeating pattern formed thereon, providing a second roll of continuous webbing stock, the second roll having at least a portion of the repeating conductive pattern formed thereon, and laminating the first and second rolls of continuous webbing stock together.
