Rockin’ (Design) Patent – Gibson Brands’ “Headphone Amplifier”

  • Rockin’ (Design) Patent: US Design Patent No. D768,955
  • Filed: 22 January 2015
  • In the name of: Gibson Brands Inc.
  • Title: Headphone Amplifier
  • What’s Claimed: “The ornamental design for a headphone amplifier, as shown and described.”
  • Why this (design) patent rocks:
    • Unlike utility patents, design patents (also called “registered designs”) protect the way all or part of a product looks rather than how it works. This is why the claim here refers to the “ornamental design” for the headphone amplifier“as shown”.
    • This design patent seems to relate to Neat Microphones’ Beehive product which is discussed here.
