Oh, patents! Squaregles® panels

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The designs of Squaregles® magnetic building panels are also patented inventions. For example, the US design patent, USD868169S1, titled Toy building panel, covers two embodiments of a Squaregels® tower panel. The patent was awarded on Nov. 26, 2019, to Joseph Kelley and Noah Ornstein, both cofounders of Squaregles®, and the inventors of the Squaregles® construction game. 

The patent figure drawings below show two embodiments of the invention design. The oblique lines appearing on one of the figures indicate a transparent or translucent surface, whereas broken lines, on both embodiments, indicate aspects of the design that are unprotected. The patent figures are shown together with the image of a marketed Squaregles®  set, showing the patented design panels assembled as a translucent yellow tower.
