Guided answer
Design: can I register the look of my product?
Design registration protects how a product looks, not how it works. It must be new, and it is lost if you show or sell the design before filing.
Has the design been shown, published or sold anywhere before filing?
Not sure whether this applies to your invention?
The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
