What is the enablement requirement for design patent drawings?

The enablement requirement for design patent drawings is specified in MPEP 1504.04. According to this section:

“The drawing disclosure must be sufficient to permit a person of ordinary skill in the art to make the article without resorting to conjecture.”

This means that the drawings must provide enough detail for someone skilled in the field to reproduce the design without having to guess or make assumptions. The drawings should clearly show all visual aspects of the claimed design.
