   - Detailed description of the ornamental appearance
   - Description of each figure's view
   - Consistency statement regarding broken lines (if used)
   - Environment/context description (if applicable)

5. CLAIM: Draft the single design claim per 37 CFR 1.153: "The ornamental design for [article] as shown and described."

6. FIGURE DESCRIPTIONS TABLE: Formal listing matching USPTO requirements

- Consistent terminology throughout
- Proper broken line usage explained (if phantom/environment shown)
- Single claim only
