First Claim
Patent Images
1. An external package for a product having an electric component, comprising:
- at least one support and an electrically conductive layer coupled to the support, where the external package comprises one of a paper or a polymer film forming the support;
the electrically conductive layer having an electrically conductive area, the layer comprising a structure and/or a coating arranged to reduce the electrical shielding otherwise exhibited by the conductive area in the surroundings of the external package such that electromagnetic radiation penetrates through the electrically conductive layer, the use of the electric component which delivers or receives information externally through the external package and/or whose power supply is fed through the external package thereby being not adversely affected or thereby is adversely affected only to an extent such that the component remains is still operable, the structure for dividing the conductive area of the electrically conductive layer into at least two areas.
