Whimsical Christmas Design Patents

Christmas tree ornament (teddy bear)

D498,701 Christmas tree ornament

This is an almost flat ornament however, I have the feeling that it does look better in person. Did you know that a political cartoon about Teddy Roosevelt helped to originate the toy for children called the teddy bear? See - History of Teddy Bears

Several views of the same object are submitted to the patent office because it is important with a design patent to completely reveal the way the obeject is designed.
