Dear Santa…

We’ve been very good boys and girls at Patently this year, so here are a few things on our wish list…

Just a short post today as we’re all frantically trying to complete our current jobs in time for the office Christmas party.

So, in a shameless act of selfishness, I’ve compiled a list of patents and designs I’ve come across over the past twelve months that would make it onto my dream Christmas list…

Dear Santa,

My old watch broke on a work trip to Zurich, so it seems only fitting that I ask for a Swiss made replacement.

CH704469 A2: “Mechanical retrograde display device for use in e.g. wrist chronograph to display seconds and tenth of seconds of chronometer time, has movable seconds fraction indicator and movable seconds indicator that are arranged in concentric manner“ (What a long title! It should just say: “Beautiful wristwatch”)

We work hard and play hard here at Patently and my old Xbox 360 has seen better days. Also, since my children and their friends have discovered the joys of Minecraft, I never get to play on the thing myself! Daddy should be allowed his own console shouldn’t he?

USD 700,246: ‘Ornamental design for an electronic housing’ (a.k.a. the Xbox One)

In my house Christmas means Chocolate! I don’t know if it’s the fudge pieces or the broken choc-chip cookies in this UK design application that I like the look of the most, all I know is that if this is in my stocking on Christmas morning, I’m not sharing.

GB702019006053391 — MMmmmmm

After eating all that chocolate, my traditional New Year’s Resolutions: “take the stairs instead of the lift” and “go running on a Sunday morning again” will inevitably make an appearance, so I’ll need a new pair of trainers and these beauties from Adidas look perfect.

EP3459378 A1 “Shoe with adaptive heel element”

And finally, a Christmas list wouldn’t be complete without that one wildly optimistic ‘main present’. Please, please, please Mr. Claus, may I have a…

USD 582,315 “Automobile body”

That just leaves me time to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of our clients, colleagues, friends and family! Enjoy the festive season and we’ll see you in 2020!
