		In the United States, a design patent is a patent granted on the ornamental design of a functional item.

		Design patents are only granted if the design is novel and not obvious for all items, even those of different utility than the patented object.

	Searching for registered designs
		Currently protected British designs (in force as of the 1 June 1997 or subsequently registered) can be searched for either by number using the official designs database or by images of designs.
		From 1884 registered designs were issued (except for textile designs) in a single numbered series, starting with no. 1 and carrying on to the present day.
		The early design classes, used until 1933, are by the type of material used and not the kind of object such as a toaster.

		Jaques obtained a copyright for the design, registering the design under the Ornamental Designs Act of 1842, and began manufacturing the set in London.

	Preservation Brief 23: Preserving Historic Ornamental Plaster
		The scope of this Brief is limited to the repair and restoration of existing ornamental plaster; certain forms of decorative plaster such as scagliola, composition ornament, and artificial Caen Stone are not addressed, nor is the design and installation of ornamental plasterwork in new construction.
		Plain plaster molding without surface ornamentation was usually created directly on the wall, or run on a flat surface such as a plasterer's workbench and attached to the wall after it set.
		Ornament such as coffering for ceilings, centers for light fixtures (medallions), brackets, dentils, or columns were cast in hide glue (gelatin) or plaster molds in an offsite shop, often in more than one piece, then assembled and installed in the building.

		California, 412 U.S. Even as to design and utilitarian conceptions within the subject matter of the patent laws, the States may place limited regulations on the exploitation of unpatented ideas to prevent consumer confusion as to source or the tortious appropriation of trade secrets.
		The Patent Act of 1793 carried over the requirement that the subject of a patent application be "not known or used before the application." Ch.
		The "protection" granted a particular design under the law of unfair competition is thus limited to one context where consumer confusion is likely to result; the design "idea" itself may be freely exploited in all other contexts.

		It is relatively certain that the pattern was not designed by the egotistical Staunton, as he never laid claim to such.
		By so doing, he corrected most of the design deficiencies found in many of the contemporary designs and produced a set which was relatively inexpensive to manufacture, thus increasing his potential customer base.
		Derived from the noble steeds whose visages are captured in the Parthenon frieze (expropriated in 1806 by Thomas Bruce, 7th Lord of Elgin and since referred to as the Elgin Marbles), the distinctive, finely detailed Knight head was the hallmark of the Staunton design.

		The design of the staircase was based on the published design of English architect William Halfpenny.

	The Conventional Chess Sets from 1700 to the introduction of Staunton's (1849)
		Today, the Staunton design, named after a Chess Master in England, but actually developed by and produced by John Jaques of London in 1849, is now the standard design for chess pieces.
		Notable in his designs, was the convention that a slanted straight edge would rest on each the decreasing heights of the tops of the pieces from the King down to the pawn.
		It is suggested that Jaques actually designed the Staunton pieces, and a relative, Nathaniel Cook registered the wooden chess pattern under the Ornamental Designs Act of 1842.

		The appearance of the new chessmen was based on this style and the pieces were, in reality, symbols of respectable Victorian society: a distinguished bishops miter, a queen's coronet and the king's crown.
