I am grateful to the many loyal readers who have gently reminded me that I need to organize the 2020 Tote Boards. You can see the past Tote Boards here. These Tote Boards are part of a tradition that extends back to 2012 when I published the first Design Patent Tote Board. Please send in your numbers now. We will close the entries in two weeks, that is, on Friday, April 2, 2021. Here are the four Tote Boards for which your numbers are needed.
