Claim Text:
1. A film having overvoltage protection for electrically conductive structures applied to the film comprising: an electrically non-conductive, electrostatically chargeable carrier film; and a structure on the carrier film comprising one or more electrically conductive and/or semiconducting structural elements and having at least one structural region protected against electrostatic voltage flashover, the one or more electrically conductive or semiconducting structural elements being connected to a protective conductor track and/or surrounded by a protective conductor track, such that the protective conductor track discharges an electrostatic charge that might otherwise occur on the structure and/or shields the protected structural region from receiving an electrostatic charge; wherein the protected structural elements include terminal connections, and wherein the connecting portions are electrically connected, directly or indirectly, to the terminal connections of the protected structural elements; or wherein the protected structural elements have supply lines, and two or more protective conductor tracks are provided connected to the supply lines.
