Compared to Utility Patent that is focused on the functional aspect of an invention, a design patent covers mainly the unique, ornamental, or visible shape or designs of a non-natural object, for example a lamp, a computer case, a building etc. which has a truly unique shape.
Even a computer screen icon if comes under the definition can be design patented. As such the design patent covers only the appearance of an article, and not its structural or functional features.
