The conversation between human and AI assistant.
I know there are 2 types of patents: Utility Patents and Design Patents. Which category does the cure for a disease fall under?
Is it possible to have both a Utility Patent and a Design Patent for the same product?
Yes, it is possible to have both a Utility Patent and a Design Patent for the same product. The Utility Patent would protect the function and use of the invention while the Design Patent would protect the ornamental design.
