Process patents are the biggest kind. Dow, WL Gore, all seem to live by their income from process patents.
That kind of patent is the one with claims, and can cover fundamental processes with
royalties due from anyone in the field.

Design patents are details of a particular implementation and offer no protection against
same function, different shape designs. A plant variety patent is like a design patent.
