The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a design patent, USD1120338S1, for a therapeutic gas delivery cart. The patent was granted to Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Ireland Limited, with inventors Brian McCormack, Michael McAtamney, and Jaron Matthew Acker. This patent specifically covers the ornamental design of the cart, not its functional aspects or efficacy, and is classified under CPC codes related to medical devices and gas delivery systems.

This patent grant signifies the protection of the unique visual appearance of the therapeutic gas delivery cart. While it does not impose new regulatory obligations on other manufacturers or healthcare providers, it establishes intellectual property rights for Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. Companies developing or manufacturing similar gas delivery carts should be aware of this patent to avoid potential infringement claims and ensure their designs do not mimic the protected ornamental features.
