Transparent article with electrically-conductive pattern

A method for providing an article comprising an electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern, the method comprising steps A) and B′), in order:

• A) providing an electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern on a surface of a first substrate film that is comprised of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, a mixture of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene naphthalate, or a laminate comprising a polyethylene terephthalate film and a polyethylene naphthalate film;
• and
• B′) transferring substantially all of the electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern to a surface of a second substrate that is a transparent laminating film consisting essentially of poly(vinyl butyral), by providing the first substrate comprising the electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern in direct contact with the surface of the second substrate, under heat, pressure, or heat and pressure, and removing the first substrate from the surface of the second substrate, thereby providing the electrically-conductive metal-containing pattern on the surface of the second substrate.
