Samsung was granted three unique design patents today worth noting. One is for a folding smartphone that is a modern version of the flip-top phones of yesteryear which allows for a larger display. A Second smartphone design is a mystery. Could it be a future Galaxy Note with a twist? Could it be a smartphone that will be able to accommodate a future miniature 360 camera to fit on top? A third design is for a case for a mystery electronic device.
Unlike "patent applications," design patents published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office don't reveal pertinent information about a particular design. We can look at the design and appreciate it for what it projects, but we'll never discover which materials may be used to construct the design. We'll never know what unique internal components may be hidden within the device or learn about any unique features that we could look forward to. All we get is the simple visual of what could be coming down the pipeline.
At least two of today's granted design patents are aggravatingly void of detail. With the visuals being unique it would have been nice to be able to zero in on some of the features to ascertain what they're for. If you have any ideas, send in your comments below.
