Design Patents
We find it ironic that the type of patent that protects the appearance of your product is often overlooked. Each year in the US, utility patent applications filed to protect the functional aspects of an invention outnumber design patent applications filed to protect ornamental features by at least 10 to 1. In the right situation, a design patent can be extremely useful for you and may even be the most valuable. CGO attorneys have the experience, wisdom and skill to discern which of the two options is best for you.
