Oh, patents! IKEA pendant lamp

 Copyright © Françoise Herrmann 

The IKEA Blasverk pendant light is a patented design. The US design patent, USD1000679S1titled Lamp, was awarded on October 3, 2023, to Carl Öjerstam, the Swedish industrial designer of the Blasverk pendant.


Below, the patent Figure 1 showing a bottom perspective view of the lamp, appears together with an image of the marketed product. Notice the dotted lines on the drawing. The broken lines indicate that this part of the design is excluded from the claimed patent protection. In other words, the pendant light suspender, shown with broken lines on the drawing, is not part of the patented design.
