The cp doesn’t change US patent law, only our practices regarding the squo – Design Law Treaty Harmonization proves

Lets see some Color: Although I have not fully contemplated the details of the proposed DLT, I believe that it would not require any changes to US patent law. One change in USPTO practice will be that the drawings / photographs may be in color “at the option of the applicant.” Currently, the PTO only permits color in the drawings based upon a petition with a showing as to why why the color drawings or photographs are necessary. In addition, the drawings rules in the DLT would permit a combination of photograph and drawing. It is not clear whether this rule is meant to include photographs that have been drawn-upon. Most design patent applicants include multiple views of the design. DLT makes clear that “the industrial design may, at the option of the applicant, be represented by one view that fully discloses the industrial design, or by several different views that fully disclose the industrial design.”
