Design Patents -
The patent laws provide for the granting of design patents to any person who has invented any new, original and ornamental

utilitarian features. The proceedings relating to granting of design patents are the same as those relating to other patents with a
few differences. European Patent Office - The EPO's task is to grant European patents using a unitary and centralized procedure.
