2019 US Design Patent Toteboard
It is my honor to post the eighth annual US Design Patent Toteboard.
The USPTO issued 34796 design patents in 2019. 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 2019. Each firm was invited in early 2020 to submit a simple online questionnaire. The closing date for the questionnaires was January 31, 2020.
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 about twenty percent of all of the granted US design patents in 2019.
