    Event Synopsis:
    A design patent protects the ornamental features of a company’s products. When another company or person violates the design patent's terms, design patent infringement occurs. To claim a patent breach, one must prove that the difference between the patented object's design and the accused object's design cannot be recognized by an ordinary observer. Courts place the burden of proof on the patent owner. However, the burden of proof is placed on the accused infringer if it uses comparison to prior art as part of its defense.
