Abstract

A protective barrier for a beverage lid surface is disclosed including a top side, a bottom side, wherein the protective barrier is flexible, an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter aligns with the associated beverage lid surface, and an anti-microbial coating, wherein the protective barrier is connected to the beverage lid surface with an adhesive or by using static cling.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A protective barrier for an associated beverage lid surface, the protective barrier comprising:
 a top side;   a bottom side, wherein the protective barrier is flexible;   an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter aligns with the associated beverage lid surface; and   an anti-microbial coating.   
     
     
         2 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier further comprises:
 an adhesive layer on the bottom side.   
     
     
         3 . The protective barrier of  claim 2 , wherein the protective barrier further comprises:
 a tab connected to the outer perimeter.   
     
     
         4 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-microbial coating is on the top side. 
     
     
         5 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the anti-microbial coating is on the bottom side, wherein the anti-microbial coating will evaporate upon removal of the protective barrier from the associated beverage container lid. 
     
     
         6 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier is between about 0.0076 mm and about 0.2032 mm. 
     
     
         7 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier is adapted to attach to the associated beverage container lid via static cling. 
     
     
         8 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier covers the entire surface of the beverage container lid. 
     
     
         9 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the outer perimeter is larger than a perimeter of the beverage container lid. 
     
     
         10 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier is opaque, transparent, or translucent. 
     
     
         11 . The protective barrier of  claim 2 , wherein the adhesive layer is adapted to be fully removable when the protective barrier is removed from the associated beverage container lid. 
     
     
         12 . The protective barrier of  claim 1 , wherein the protective barrier further comprises:
 a tab connected to the top side.   
     
     
         13 . The protective barrier of  claim 9 , wherein the protective barrier further comprises:
 an adhesive layer on the bottom side.   
     
     
         14 . The protective barrier of  claim 9 , wherein the anti-microbial coating is on the top side. 
     
     
         15 . The protective barrier of  claim 9 , wherein the anti-microbial coating is on the bottom side, wherein the anti-microbial coating will evaporate upon removal of the protective barrier from the associated beverage container lid. 
     
     
         16 . The protective barrier of  claim 9 , wherein the protective barrier is between about 0.0076 mm and about 0.2032 mm. 
     
     
         17 . The protective barrier of  claim 9 , wherein the protective barrier is adapted to attach to the associated beverage container lid via static cling. 
     
     
         18 . A protective barrier for an associated beverage lid surface, the protective barrier comprising:
 a top side;   a bottom side, wherein the protective barrier is flexible;   an adhesive layer, wherein the adhesive layer is either on the bottom side, wherein the adhesive layer is adapted to be fully removable when the protective barrier is removed from the associated beverage container lid;   an outer perimeter, wherein the outer perimeter aligns with the associated beverage lid surface;   a tab, wherein the tab is connected to either the top side or the outer perimeter; and   an anti-microbial coating, wherein the anti-microbial coating is either on the top side or the bottom side, wherein the protective barrier is between about 0.0076 mm and about 0.2032 mm, wherein the protective barrier is opaque, transparent, or translucent.   
     
     
         19 . The protective barrier of  claim 18 , wherein the protective barrier covers the entire surface of the beverage container lid. 
     
     
         20 . The protective barrier of  claim 18 , wherein the outer perimeter is larger than a perimeter of the beverage container lid.
