What is...a design patent?

Design protection can take many forms. One form of protection is a design patent. A careful assessment of what is ornamental and what is functional is needed to discern what is covered by a design patent. Some possible items covered by design protection include jewelry and furniture. Even the Bat Mobile was covered by design protection. ⠀ #patent #patents #patentlawyer #intellectualproperty #IP #IPattorney #trademarks #copyright #brandprotection #innovation #entrepreneur #smallbusiness #invention #lawyer #law #artists #creativeexpression #technology #branding #authors #purchasepowerNH #womanowned #inventor
