Rockin’ Registered Design – “Microphones (part of -)”

  • Rockin’ Registered Design: Registered Community Design No. 002713990-0001
  • Filed: 5 June 2015
  • In the name of: Shure Acquisition Holdings, Inc.
  • Indication of Product: Microphones (part of -)
  • Why this registered design rocks:
    • This registered design relates to the visual appearance of (part of) a microphone. This design itself appears to relate to Shure’s MV5 digital condenser mic (see here).
    • Note the use of broken lines. Although there isn’t a universal agreement on how dotted (or ‘broken’) lines in registered design drawings should be interpreted, they are typically understood to show parts of the design for which protection isn’t sought; elements shown using solid lines are the parts for which protection is sought. See, for example, my commentary on Gimex International Groupe Import Export v The Chillbag Company Limited & Others [2012] EWPCC 31 in the Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice (JIPLP) here, which discusses dotted lines in more detail.

Software Patent Drawings Explained

By Iain Russell, Patent Attorney and Director at Russell IP (BSc, CPA, EPA, FRSA – 20 years’ experience in computer-implemented inventions and music technology). What Drawings Do Software Patents Typically Include? Published: June 2026 | Last updated: June 2026 Software patent applications often rely heavily on drawings to explain how an invention works. The types of software patent drawings used can look quite different from those in mechanical or chemical cases, mainly because the invention is usually a process or a system rather than a physical object you can show in physical form.
