Design Protection
What is a Design Patent?
A design patent protects the unique visual qualities of a manufactured item. While utility patents protect how an invention works, a design patent strictly protects how it looks.
🚨 Danger: Selling your product or publishing photos of it online before filing a design patent application can destroy your ability to get protection in the US and internationally.
35 U.S.C. § 171, whoever invents any new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture may obtain a patent.

ℹ️ Info: A design patent lasts for 15 years from the date of grant and does not require maintenance fees.
