For further enlightment about material which may be patented,
check out issued US patents #D295632 and #D295633, both by Wells-Papanek,
Verplank and Cox.
Patent number D295632: ICON FOR WASTEBASKET OR THE LIKE. May 10, 1988.
Claim: The ornamental design for an icon for wastebasket of the like,
as shown and described.
Patent number D295633: ICON FOR PC EMULATION OR THE LIKE. May 10, 1988.
Claim: The ornamental design for an icon for a PC emulation or the like,
as shown and described.
Both are assigned to the Xerox corporation. The wastebasket is barely
recognisable, it looks like a panorama of snow covered mountains perched
on top of a box ! (The PC is harder to miss -- it consists of a small box
inside a larger box representing a screen, with the letters PC written inside;
the whole thing is equipped with three knobs and sits on a third PC-shaped box.)
