Oh, patents! TIEKS™ tote (4)

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The TIEKS™ blue tote, included in the sale of a pair of TIEKS™ ballerina flats, is also patented. This is the tote intended to carry the extra pair of shoes you are wearing, before you slip into a pair of TIEKS™. For example, the pair of high-heel pumps that you might bring to wear at work, after you slip out of your TIEKS™ ballerina flats, used to navigate urban pavements.  

The US design patent, USD672550, titled Tote bag, covers the ornamental properties of the TIEKS™ blue tote. The patent was awarded on Dec. 18, 2022, to Kfir Gavrielli and Dikla Gavirelli, the inventors, and co-founders of TIEKS™ by Gavrieli. 

Below, the patent Figure 1 depicts a front perspective view of the TIEKS tote bag. The broken lines, outlining the shoes shown inside the tote, together with the stitching, and inside pocket, indicate ornamental aspects of the invention design that are unprotected. An image of the marketed blue TIEKS tote is also included.
