Today’s Patent – String Light

The said invention (USD967471S1) was invented by Dajian Xiao patented by USPTO on 09-01-2022. Currently, it stands assigned to Dajian Xiao.

The string light, as depicted in the design drawings, includes symbolic breaks in its length. These breaks, represented by dashed lines, indicate portions of the string light that are not claimed as part of the design.

Additionally, dot-dash broken lines are used to represent the boundaries of an enlarged portion, which also forms no part of the claimed design. This approach provides clarity in distinguishing the functional or unclaimed portions from the claimed design aspects of the string light.

This design method introduces a clear and precise way to differentiate the claimed elements of the string light from the unclaimed or purely illustrative portions. By employing both dashed and dot-dash broken lines, the invention enhances the clarity of design claims in a visual format, which aids in better understanding the scope of the design and its boundaries during filing, examination, and enforcement processes.
