What are Patents?

A patent is a legal document that grants an inventor exclusive rights to their invention for a set period of time. These exclusive rights allow the inventor to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the invention without their permission. Patents are intended to encourage innovation by rewarding inventors for their hard work and creativity.

Patents can be obtained for various types of inventions, such as utility patents for processes, machines, and compositions of matter, design patents for ornamental designs of articles of manufacture, and plant patents for new and distinct varieties of plants that have been asexually reproduced.

How Can Patents Be Used as Home Decor?

Patents can be used as unique and inventive artwork for your home. The intricate details of the drawings and descriptions can make for interesting conversation pieces, and the vintage designs can add a touch of nostalgia to your decor. The following are some ways to incorporate patents into your interior design:

  1. Engrave them

One of the easiest ways to incorporate patents into your decor is to have them custom engraved and incorporate them seamlessly into your home decor. Our patents are available in a variety of sizes and styles, including vintage and modern designs.

  1. Create a Gallery Wall

A gallery wall is a great way to display a collection of patents. You can mix and match different sizes and styles of prints to create an eclectic look. Choose a focal point for your gallery wall, such as a fireplace or a sofa, and arrange around it.

  1. Use Patents as backdrops

Patents can also be used as backdrops for shelves, desks, or other display areas. Use adhesive to attach the patent to the wall or place it in a frame and lean it against the wall. This creates a unique and interesting background for your decorative objects.

  1. Incorporate them into your lighting

Another way to incorporate patents into your decor is to use them as lampshades. You can purchase patent prints that have been made into lampshades or create your own by wrapping a patent print around a plain lampshade.

  1. Use Patents as coasters or placemats

If you want to add a subtle touch of patents to your decor, you can use patent engravings as coasters or placemats. This is a great way to incorporate the intricate designs of patents without overwhelming your decor.

Why Use Patents as Home Decor?

Using patents as home decor can add a unique, custom, and inventive touch to your living space. The intricate details of the drawings and descriptions can make for interesting conversation pieces, and the vintage designs can add a touch of nostalgia to your decor.

Each custom design shows off a pique of interest that every home owner should display. Are you a gamer? Get your favorite console engraved or printed! Disney adult? Cinderella’s Castle would be perfect for your living room wall. We also have fun and whimsical designs, like, well, toilet paper (hehe), and something for every sports lover.

Additionally, using patents as home decor can be a way to support inventors and the innovation process. By incorporating patents into your living space, you are acknowledging the importance of invention and creativity.
