Is this short sentence correct?
Hello,
Here's the sentence:
"Zippo lighter design after more than 80 years since patenting."
Is it correct or should it be "since patented", "from patenting", "from patented"?
Zippo lighter was patented in 1936.
Design is not a verb here. It's a noun. You know, design of this lighter.
"after more" to emphasise the long period of time.
Thank you in advance for your help

I assume this is a title, eg of an article, because there is no main verb. As a title, it's fine. If the main topic is 'Zippo lighter design', put a comma after 'design'.
