What are the requirements for a design patent title?

The requirements for a design patent title are specified in MPEP 1503.01:

“The title of the design must designate the particular article.” This means:

• The title should be descriptive of the article in which the design is embodied or applied.
• It should be as short and specific as possible.
• Words such as “design for” or “ornamental design” are not necessary in the title.

For example, “Chair” would be an acceptable title, while “Design for a Chair” would not be necessary.
