Oh, patents! KENZO™ Jeu d'amour

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

KENZOJeu d’Amour Eau de Parfum was launched in 2015. The perfume bottle, created by Karim Rashid, was granted the US design patent USD723374S1, titled Perfume bottle, on March 3, 2015. 


The patent cover sheet drawing, depicting the front view and top down view of the bottle, is included below, together with an image of the marketed product and conditioning.


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 USC 171) [MPEP Chapt. 1502.01; [R-07.2015]].
