My invention consists of a design that has an interchangeable part. The main component by itself is a holder to hold decorative items but I have a part that can be interchanged to hold different sizes. My dilemma is that I want to be protected for my main component by itself as well as with the interchangeable piece and I am not sure which patent would suit me best.
Hard to say without seeing the invention but if I were to guess I would say just get a design patent with the middle sized insert shown in the drawings.
