Designs

Design patents protect the visual ornamental characteristics of a product rather than its functionality. More importantly, partial design patents have proven to be extremely valuable in protecting critical portions of a company’s product, particularly when the overall design may be well-known or relatively easy to design around. At Studebaker Brackett PC, we assist our clients in obtaining valuable design patent protection and counsel our clients with respect to their design patent portfolios. We also prepare opinions for our clients to confirm the scope of their design rights as well as the scope of potential competitors design rights.
