Today in design patents:

D1028847 issued for a vehicle kitchen.

I can say I've never felt the need to cook in my vehicle.

@design_law @jumbanho 100% I would use this for tailgaters. But I think Sarah is right, I just didn't realize there was that much of a market for a tailgate bench for a SUV.

@design_law Same. My first is how these will look IRL and if the physical embodiment actually looks like the drawing.

Today in design patents:

D1028321 issued for a disco ball party light.

I have so many questions (why is the plug the same size as the globe), but while I sometimes take issue with dashed lines, this is an instance where dashed lines are important.

Today in design patents:

D1028413 issued for a keepsake.

My apologies to Shakespeare, but a Magic 8 Ball by any other name will still not stop infringements of a fortune-telling sphere.

@design_law I'm guessing the "keepsake" claim is what kept the Magic 8 ball out of the prior art.

Today in design patents:

D1027176 issued for a staple instrument.

I've been asked why I post design patents. Most of the time it is because I want to showcase the range of design patents we have. Sometimes it is just because I think the device has an interesting design.

@design_law You certainly are great at using design patents to subtweet!

When I tell you that the Federal Circuit has read the word "ornamental" out of 35 U.S.C. § 171:

@design_law I thought that too.

Today in design patents:

D1027227 issued to Cartier for a candle.

This is one reason I love looking at the new designs - I had no idea Cartier sold candles.

But Cartier aside - this fits into @design_law's category.
