Design Patent

  • Protects ornamentality of product (can include mechanical devices, GUI (graphical user interface) elements, packaging, among others)

  • Functionality not protected by design patent

  • Issued design patents last 15 years pursuant to The Hague Convention

  • Allowed by the USPTO at a higher and more expeditious rate relative to utility patent applications (i.e., rejections are less likely and frequent)

  • Like utility patents, can mark and advertise products as "patent pending" and, when issued, with the issued patent number

  • Can file a utility application even if a design application is filed

  • Drawings are critical to the application and strictly scrutinized by the USPTO during examination

  • Application pendency at the USPTO is typically between 1-2 years.

Utility Patent

  • Protects functionality of a device (e.g., how the invention operates)

  • Rejections (i.e., in an Office Action) by the USPTO are more common relative to design patent applications

  • Cost more money to obtain relative to a design patent

  • Can file a design patent application even if a utility patent application is filed

  • Can mark and advertise products as "patent pending" or with the issued patent number

  • Drawings are accepted so long as they meet minimum standards (i.e., drawings in utility applications are scrutinized less rigorously than in design applications)

  • Application pendency at the USPTO can last for several years depending on the art unit and number of rejections issued
