Скачать или смотреть When design patents beat utility patents on speed and budget - Patent Baron

Choosing between a design patent and a utility patent can impact both your timeline and your budget. In this video, we explain when a design patent may be the faster or more cost-effective option—and when additional protection may be necessary.

Design patents focus on the visual appearance of an invention, while utility patents protect how an invention works. Although design patents can be quicker and less expensive, they cannot always serve as a priority basis for a future utility patent. Filing a provisional utility application first can provide greater flexibility.

By securing an early filing date with a provisional utility application, you preserve your options for both utility and design protection as your invention develops. Understanding these distinctions early can help you make informed decisions and avoid limiting your patent strategy.
