How to tell if a patent is a utility or design patent?

In general terms, a utility patent protects the way an article is used and works (35 U.S.C. 101), while a design patent protects the way an article looks (35 U.S.C. 171).

Relationship to Utility Applications: A design application can also be a continuation or CIP of a utility application, provided the drawings in the utility application sufficiently disclose the claimed design.

Can a design patent claim priority to a utility?

Can a design patent application claim priority to a utility nonprovisional application? Yes, a design patent application may claim priority to a pending utility nonprovisional patent application, but not to a provisional patent application under 35 USC 172.

What is the difference between utility and design?
