Design patents protect the ornamental and aesthetic nature of any final industrial design for your article of manufacture. In simpler terms, a design patent protects the visually perceptible characteristics or features of the object, namely, the shape and configuration.
Design patent applications are sometimes filed in conjunction with utility patent applications in order to provide comprehensive patent protection.
