2018 Design Patent Toteboard

It is my honor to post the seventh annual US Design Patent Toteboard.

The USPTO issued 30497 design patents in 2018.  The goal of this toteboard, brought to you by the Ant-Like Persistence blog, is to list the firms that helped clients to obtain these US design patents.  It ranks the firms according to the number of US design patents obtained in 2018.  Each firm was invited in early 2019 to submit a simple online questionnaire.  The closing date for the questionnaires was in March of 2019.

Each firm was asked to report only US design patents for which that firm is listed on the front page of the granted patent.  The firms listed below, between them, accounted for well over ten percent of all of the granted US design patents in 2018.
