Oh, patents! IKEA Wireless charging lamp

Copyright © Françoise Herrmann

The IKEA NYMÅNE LED lamp offers wireless charging for any mobile phone that supports wireless charging. The lamp was awarded the US design patent, USD764090S1, titled Wireless charging lamp. The patent was granted on August 16, 2016, to the IKEA designer David Wahl.

 As a reminder, a US design patent covers the ornamental aspects of an invention, or what the invention looks like. Whereas a US utility patent covers the functional aspects of an invention, or how the invention works.
