Oh, patents! Nina Ricci (2)

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The flask for the Mademoiselle Ricci perfume line was awarded the US Design patent USD606875S1 titled Perfume bottle.

The patent figure drawing No. 2 is included below, together with an image of one of the three marketed Mademoiselle Ricci perfume bottles.



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]].
