Just one US design patent for the formidable British architect and designer, Zaha Hadid, who died a year ago.
As a reminder the difference between a US utility and a US design patent is the following:
“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).” [USPTO]
Beyond this design patent, Zaha Hadid buildings are found worldwide and she is the recipient of the most prestigious prizes of her profession. Hadid was the first woman to receive the prestigious architectural Pritzker Prize in 2014, and she received the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize in 2010 and 2011.
Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-born British architect. She is celebrated this day with a Google Doodle too!
The video below shows some of her extraordinary architectural creations, and iconic “curves”.
