In terms of obtaining a design patent, a design is defined as the "surface ornamentation" of an object, which can include the shape or configuration of an object. In order to obtain this type of patent protection, the design must be inseparable from the object. While the object and its design must be inseparable, a design patent with only protect the object's appearance. In order to protect the functional or structural features of an object, a person must also file for a utility patent.
