`
`DESIGN V__UTILITY; A “design patent” protects an article's ornamental appearance (e.9., the
`
`way an article looks) (35 U.S.C. 171), while a “utility patent’ protects the way an article is used |
`
`and works
`(35 U.S.C.
`101).
`The ornamental appearance of an artide includes
`its
`shape/contiguration or surface ornamentation upon the artide, or both. Both a design and a utility
`
`patent may be obtained on an artide if invention resides both in its ornamental appearance and
`
`its utility. For more information see MPEP 1502.01.
