The short answer is - yes, but only for each individual brands design. A general trademark or patent likely does not apply since the 'stork design' has been in use since antiquity and no one is allowed to claim it (theres no trademark or patent on the wheel) .

There may also be design patents on uniquely different stork scissors where the result is different enough to apply. The evidence is that competing manufacturers all produce their own version of the stork design, but they are all slightly different so they are not in violation of one anothers tradmarked design.
