Patent No. D420265S: Bottle Opener

February 8, 2015 By Jay Brooks

patent-logo
Today in 2000, US Patent D420265 S was issued, an invention of Michael Bernard Pierce, for his “Bottle Opener.” There’s no Abstract, and the entire description in the application is one sentence long. “The ornamental design for a bottle opener, as shown and described.” I’m surprised this design is only fifteen years old, because it seems like I must have a dozen or more of these with various brewery names and logos emblazoned on them just lying around.
USD420265-1
