`DESIGN V._ UTILITY: A “design patent”protects an article's ornamental appearance (@.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 artice includes its
`shape/configuration or surface ornamentation upon the article, or both. Both a design and a utility
`patent may be obtained on an article if invention resides both in its ornamental appearance and
`its utility. For more information see MPEP 1502.01.
