I have some questions about a Fraudulent Design Patent Declaration. Basically:

Company A designed a product

Company B made a copy of Company A's product with generally the same shape and features, but not exactly the same
Company B did not mention Company A in their design declaration

Company C made a copy of Company B's product with a different front cosmetic design
Company C did not mention Company A or Company B in their design declaration.

Would this set of facts put either Company B or C in danger with respect to their misleading oath under  Declaration (37 CFR 1.63) for Utility or Design because they claimed 100% ownership of a design which was clearly not their own?

Cool! So in Canada a Design Grant is not considered a patent in Canada? But in the USA the same thing is referred to as a Design Patent. Correct?

How did you find the D559685 number based on the 121502 number?

Is there a special way you have to search for the Applicant Name is you are looking for a USA Design Patent? I searched for their name in the USA database and they don't come up. (121502 is not the actual number of the Design Grant I am trying to get information on)

Is it possible that the Canadian Design Grant has already come through but the USA design patent has not come through yet?

Hey, thanks for the tip.

This could be the problem. Google pulls it up as a "CA Design Grant". What is that? I can find the number CA121502S in Google, but not in the USPTO database.

Is a CA Design Grant the same as a Design Patent or is it a different animal all together? Very confusing because I Google "CA Design Grant" and plenty of registrations come up, but I can't find any articles describing exactly what a CA Design Grant actually is.

I am able to find a design patent listing on Google, but when I go to the USPTO website and search I am unable to find the patent. I figure I must be looking in the utility patent search engine instead of the design patent search engine on the USPTO website. Can somebody please provide me with the correct link to search for a design patent registration on the USPTO?
