The Design Patent Drawing
The most important component of a design patent application is the Design Patent Drawing Illustrations. The US Patent and Trademark Office views the drawing as the most accurate representation of the design. After all, the design patent is meant to safeguard a particular look. The only proper way to demonstrate that is through a patent drawing.
Detail is the secret to a great design patent illustration.Even the most meticulously crafted description will inevitably include some blank places. To be eligible for a design patent, drawings must meet stringent criteria.
A strong patent illustration will complete and supplement the written description, whether it be a hand-drawn drawing, a computer-drafted graphic, or a black-and-white photo. If you make a mistake, future iterations of your product could not be protected, and you might even be flatly denied. The font you select to describe your illustration, the margins of the paper it is written on, and even the kind of paper it is printed on, will all be scrutinized by the patent examiner.
