The above is an example of a utility patent.  The view here is set to Image View so that you can see that this search is on patents of a more technical nature, where the patent and diagrams are written to show use or utility.  The query is:

"coffee maker" AND heater AND PT:U

Notice that the drawings are more technical.

The above is an example of a design patent.  The view here is set to Image View so that you can see this search is on the design, specifically. The query is:

"coffee maker" AND heater AND PT:D

Notice that the query is exactly the same as the utility patent search in the first example, except for the PT:D instead of PT:U.  The images shown are of a more artistic nature instead of a technical one.

Other Search Examples:

PT:PP --> Returns only plant patents.

PT:(U OR RE) --> Returns both utility and reissue patents.

Note that without this PT restriction, AcclaimIP will return patents from every category that match your query.
