Damn. Probably would have been a good idea to patent that, eh?

Maybe a picture frame designer should have patented it 100 years ago.

Design patents cover design, not function. As this article points out, minimalist designs are highly constrained. They wouldn't be minimalist if there were lots of other ways to do it.

Without a lengthy article explaining why, by just looking at the picture frame - I would have never known the difference.
