USPTO Grants 19 New Design Patents on March 10, 2026
Sellers Should Review Products Immediately
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released its Official Gazette for March 10, 2026 (Vol. 1544, No. 2), listing newly granted design patents covering a wide range of consumer goods. For e-commerce sellers and manufacturers, this release is a critical checkpoint — selling products that infringe an active design patent can trigger takedown notices, temporary restraining order (TRO) account freezes, and even permanent platform suspensions.
Among this week's grants are patents on everyday items commonly found in online marketplaces, including home decor, garden accessories, personal care products, and sporting goods. Sellers are strongly advised to compare their current listings against the design drawings associated with each patent before continuing to offer these product types.

What Sellers Should Do Now
If you are currently selling any product that falls into the categories above, take the following steps as soon as possible:
- Review the design drawings associated with each relevant patent by looking up the patent number directly in the USPTO's database.
- Compare the ornamental appearance of your product against the patented design. Design patents protect visual appearance, not function — even similar-looking products can be at risk.
- Consult an intellectual property attorney if you are uncertain whether your product infringes on a newly granted design patent.
- Consider pausing listings for affected product types until a review is complete, to avoid platform actions during the evaluation period.
A Note on Database Availability
Newly issued patents sometimes take several days to fully propagate across third-party patent search platforms such as Google Patents and Justia. If you search for a patent number right now and get no results, please wait a few days and try again.
Once available, you can look up each patent directly at the official USPTO Patent Public Search tool: ppubs.uspto.gov. Enter the patent number (e.g., USD1116434S) in the Quick Lookup box to view the official grant date, title, assignee, and design drawings.
