design patent


Explanation:
It refers to a patent to protect personal artistic design. But there may be a more specific definition.

No- that is the process for applying for a patent right. In this case Gallé, and other creative artists who manufacture at industrial level patent their designs and models so they cannot be copied . Much like the trademarks and designs for fashion articles today. Literally it is a protected design patent. Not so common in Gallé's time because manufacturing on a large scale was not so common, but his process for layering glass to create the particular effect was patented so it could not be copied by other manufacturers. I expect "patented design process" would cover it.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I have found evidence of 'déposé' for 'patent applied for'. Could it be patent department?
