On September 23, 2008, Banner & Witcoff surpassed last year’s record for prosecuting the most design patents to issuance by a law firm in a calendar year.
The record breaking 745th patent is U.S. Patent No D577,472. It was procured on behalf of firm client, Electrolux and it corresponds to its Front Load Washer & Dryer with Wave-Touch™ Controls. The new stylishly-designed washers and dryers with Wave-Touch™ Controls have the fastest wash-to-dry time (just 36 minutes to wash AND dry a load), and eco-friendly washers that use up to 83% less energy and 56% less water.
With more than three months remaining in the calendar year, Banner & Witcoff continues to procure design patents in record numbers and hopes to achieve most design patents procured by a law firm in a calendar year for the third year in a row.
Banner & Witcoff would like to thank its design-driven clients who entrust us with the responsibility of procuring design patent protection on their behalf.
