Adopt a Design Patent: 1842-1925

This collection of 50 NFTs is based on 50 United States design patents filed between 1842 and 1925. Each NFT in this collection is of a different design patent and consists of an image derived from that design patent.

The purpose of this collection is to encourage the adoption of abandoned and forgotten designs, and their reuse for new and different purposes. Obviously, the images associated with the NFTs in this collection could be used as profile pictures. But there are other potential uses as well. After all, they were created as ornamental designs for commercial products. They could still be used as ornamental designs or as trademarks, among other things. Their potential is yours to explore.

Everything in this collection is in the public domain, so there are no legal restrictions of any kind on the use of the design patents or the images they include. The owner of an NFT from this collection may use the image associated with the NFT for any purpose, including commercially.
