I can imagine patenting the technology thats in there, but the look and feel?

Like it or not, people have been patenting "look and feel" since the 1840s.

Yes, Colt patented the look and feel of his revolvers after the Manhatten Arms company ripped off the design with a few minor modifications to his utility patents.
