@npub1ulm…hweg I love partial designs but this was egregious. It has to be a discrete piece in my opinion. Not a quarter of something.

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. #DesignPatents

@npub1ulm…hweg I'm trying to think of a fair use scenario for a fan guide. Maybe they've been burned by copyright before and are trying everything? But this is bizarre.

Today in design patents:

This patent has 38 figures providing instruction on how to choose a ceiling fan. #DesignPatents
I don't normally say this - but don't file instruction documents as design patents.
