Oh, patents! Oh, Givenchy (2) Organza perfume bottle

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The striking Givenchy Organza Indecence perfume bottle is patented. The design of this perfume bottle was granted the US design patent USD441280 (S), titled Perfume bottle and cap.

As a reminder, the difference between a US utility patent 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) [MPEP Chapt. 1502.01; [R-07.2015]].

The front and rear patent figure drawings of the bottle are included, together with an image of the marketed product.
