USPTO provides supplemental guidance for examination of design patent applications related to computer-generated electronic images, including computer-generated icons and graphical user interfaces
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has published supplemental guidance for USPTO personnel to use in determining whether a design claim including a computer-generated electronic image is directed to statutory subject matter. This guidance reflects current USPTO practice.
“Emerging technologies have the potential to dramatically improve our day-to-day lives, and we believe that the public will benefit from the additional clarity this guidance provides on digital designs,” said Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO.
The full text of the notice is available at the Federal Register and on the Patent Related Notices webpage.
