A design-patent holder may elect infringer’s profits as a remedy under 35 U.S.C. 289, which provides that one who “applies the patented design … to any article of manufacture … shall be liable to the owner to the extent of his total profit, … but [the owner] shall not twice recover the profit made from the infringement.” The Federal Circuit held that a district court need not exclude unprotected conceptual or functional features from a design patent’s protected ornamental scope. The court also held that a design-patent holder is entitled to an infringer’s entire profits from sales of any product found to contain a patented design, with- out any regard to the design’s contribution to that product’s value or sales.

  • Massimo Vignelli
    Massimo Vignelli Alexander Fusté Studio I Fall 2014 Massimo Vignelli, born and raised in Italy, brought to America a new style of minimalist and grid based design. Massimo did so with his wife and business partner Lella Vignelli. He began designing professionally in 1950 and never stopped until he passed on May 23, 2014.1 He and his team created the faces of some of the most iconic and well known branding and designs in the world. Because their philosophy of design isn’t limited to just graphic design, they focused on many projects in many fields throughout their career. Because, to the Vignelli’s, “If you can’t find it, design it.”2 Massimo’s interest in Graphic Design began in Italy pre his marriage to Lella. It was here that he realized that he wanted to continue his life pursuing ‘good design’ in America with Lella. This idea of ‘good design’ was not simply limited to graphic design. Vignelli says in his book “Design is one” that “subjects change, materials change, processes change, but the creative and investigative mind proceeds relentlessly”.3 This process is applied to all created objects. After he arrived in America he cofounded Unimark and was the design director.4 This was a great starting point for Vignelli and gave him many opportunities. However, it was when he and Lella founded Vignelli Associates, did they really skyrocket to the design superstars they are today. 5 Massimo worked on a basic grid system throughout his the career. Why the grid? Because Massimo believed that good design is timeless and the grid will 1 AIGI.

    Shop & Browse Inspiration In Conversation Kathy Brew Kathy Brew The Design Is One co­director talks behind­the­scenes with the Vignellis Kathy Brew found her way into film by way of a long career in media and contemporary art. After working in the Bay Area for fourteen years, Brew returned to her native New York in 1994 to begin work as an Associate Producer for “City Arts,” Channel 13’s Emmy-award-winning program on the visual and performing arts. While working on that series, Brew met her husband, Roberto Guerra, an accomplished filmmaker and longtime friend of the modernist designers Lella and Massimo Vignelli. In 2014, Roberto Guerra passed away on Massimo Vignelli’s birthday, January 10, after a six-month fight with pancreatic Photograph by Ana de Orbegoso cancer. Just months later, Massimo died at his home in Manhattan. He was 83. The last film that Brew made with her late husband, Design Is One: Lella & Massimo Vignelli, was created from footage that captures the Vignellis full of vim and verve, before health complications began to interfere with their ability to work. Along with Helvetica—a documentary film about Massimo Vignelli’s favorite typeface—Design Is One has helped catapult the Vignellis to a new level of public consciousness. After interviewing the Vignellis and former co-workers, Brew and Guerra compressed almost fifty years of work by the creative couple into the eighty-minute feature film, introducing many to the duo that helped shape America’s typographic urban landscape and the entire field of design in the latter half of the 20th century.

  • Ygb(I)V: Horizontal Color in the New York Subway
    Robert R. Stenson Intro to Archaeology Joanna S. Smith 25 October 2007 R(o)ygb(i)v: Horizontal Color in the New York Subway The subway arrives in color. In our minds, our stations, and our maps, the New York City subway system arrives in colors: red, blue, orange, green, purple, etc. Whether you are holding a map, navigating the station, or standing on the platform, deciphering this subway means using color as a tool of instantaneous and conscious differentiation. That is, when we trace a line with our finger, spot a sign, or peer into the tunnel, we are consciously looking for a specific color, and can know instantaneously whether or not a train is “ours.” But the nature of this scheme is to operate in a “vertical” orientation. As we ride toward our destination, we ride with a color; as we glide north and south beneath the grey city, moving against the horizontal grid of cross-streets, the A train remains blue and the 1 remains red—no matter what station, either West 4th or 200th. But little-known in the New York subway complex is a limited, enigmatic system of “horizontal” color, bands of colored tile on station walls—a system which, theoretically, gives us the sense not of moving with a color, but through changing colors: green at West 4th, red at 200th etc. As a result of poor documentation and limited use, however, what we know of the colors is preserved primarily on the subway station walls; a once-modern scheme has silently become archaic, found only in an archaeological context.
