A design patent protects the ornamental and non-functional aspects of a product, such as its shape, configuration, or surface patterns. Unlike utility patents, which cover functionality, design patents focus solely on visual appearance. They apply to products like smartphones, fashion items, and packaging designs, ensuring creators maintain exclusive rights to their unique aesthetics. However, protection is limited geographically and does not include functional features. Securing a design patent helps safeguard creative innovations and strengthens a product’s market identity.
