In explaining the reason for his design ends. In explaining the reason for his design, Chung stated: "I was motivated ... to design a new cigarette package ... when I ... happened to see ... workers pull out cigarettes from the packages holding their filter-tip top with dirty fingers during work to smoke them. Some even used their teeth to pull them out so as not to contaminate the filter-tip end with dirty fingers, and some others tore open the bottom part of the package to take out cigarettes from the bottom." Does Chung's invention satisfy the requirements for a design patent? Why or why not?
