Now, there are a few different kinds of patents today, including what we call design patents that protect the way an invention looks. The iPad, for example, is legally protected by a design patent. So, at one time, were LEGO bricks, Coke bottles, and the Statue of Liberty.
Examples of patentable inventions include chemical compounds, computer hardware, machines, drugs, mechanical devices and industrial processes. The iPhone, 3D printer, helicopter drone, solar panel, GPS and bionic eye would be classic examples.
