Oh, patents! TIEKS™ gift box (5)

 Copyright ©  Françoise Herrmann

TIEKS™ are marketed in a TIEKS™ signature-blue gift box, wrapped in an elastic ribbon, with a TIEKS™ crystal-centered flower, in varying colors. Each fabulous little gift box contains a pair of folded ballerina flats with the TIEKS™ blue split soles, the pouch to stow them in your purse, the tote to carry an extra pair of shoes, a thank-you note, and a care card. A gift patented many times over, since the designs of the ballerina flats, the signature-blue split soles, the pouch, the tote, and the gift box, are all parented.

Indeed, the design of the signature-blue TIEKS™ gift box was awarded the US design patent, USD680007, titled Box with ribbon. The patent was awarded on April 16, 2013, to Kfir Gavrielli and Dikla Gavireli, both founders of TiEKS by Gavrieli.

Below, the Figure 1, extracted from the patent, together with an image of a marketed TIEKS™ signature-blue gift box. The patent Figure 1 depicts a front perspective of the invention gift box with a ribbon. Notice that the patent figure flower is drawn using broken lines. The broken lines indicate the flower is not covered by the gift box design patent. The image of the marketed TIEKS™ signature-blue gift box shows a sapphire blue elastic ribbon with a sapphire blue-crystal-studded holiday flower.
