Design patent drawings serve as a visual representation of the product, highlighting its unique features, shape and overall appearance. These drawings can be used to demonstrate how the design is used in various contexts, such as in product packaging or marketing materials.
Every line, hatch, and view is extremely important to portray accurately. That’s why our highly skilled and creative design team is fluent in both USPTO and foreign design patent requirements.
Is this your first design patent?
Here’s IPI’s word of advice for beginners.
If you’re an individual inventor or business that is brand new to the patent world and want to protect your products, we highly recommend seeking out the guidance of a patent attorney.
