The stunning cube-shaped flask for the Dior
Homme cosmetics line Dermo System was
granted the US design patent USD557612 (S), titled Flask for cosmetic product.
As a reminder: “a utility patent”
protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a “design patent” protects the way an
article looks (35 U.S.C.
171) [MPEP Chapt. 1502.01; [R-07.2015]].
The patent drawing Figure 4 is included below, together with an image
of the marketed product.
