U.S. Patent Law provides for the granting of design patents to any person who has invented any new, original and ornamental design.  A design patent protects the visual appearance of an article.  RatnerPrestia’s Design Rights Group is dedicated to securing strategically important design protection in the U.S. and abroad.  Innovative designs drive many consumer purchase decisions, so we use our experience and expertise to secure broad and enduring rights in those designs. We appreciate the relationship among design and utility patent, registered trademark, trade dress and copyright protections for design innovations.  Using these protections in concert, we work closely with our clients to develop and implement strategies that secure comprehensive design rights.

As a member of RatnerPrestia’s Design Rights Group, Brett Rosen regularly prepares and prosecutes U.S. design patent applications to protect ornamental articles, such as automotive designs, appliance designs, athletic wear and clothing designs, hardware and tool designs, household goods designs, jewelry designs, medical device designs, package and display designs, sporting goods designs, among others.  As one example, Brett has filed design patent applications on behalf of Porsche to protect its latest automotive designs.

Brett regularly collaborates with patent office design patent examiners and design patent draftsman to secure design patent protection in a systematic and cost-effective manner.
