What are the types of infringement of intellectual property rights?

Infringement of intellectual property rights is mainly divided into four types:

The first is trademark infringement, which is the last thing we want to see, because it is the most blatant infringement. Before 1998, this kind of infringement occurred frequently, but in recent years, with the improvement of intellectual property awareness of most enterprises, it has gradually decreased.

Second, the tort is to copy the appearance, structure and principle of others. This kind of infringement happened most in recent years, accounting for 80% of the whole infringement cases.

The third kind of infringement is the alleged infringement of the color, packaging and fixtures of goods. When it comes to the color of goods, some people may doubt whether color can also constitute infringement, but it does. Some foreign businessmen are very cunning. They may have registered the color of their products in a certain area, and other manufacturers' products cannot use this color when they enter the area.

The fourth category is sample infringement. In previous exhibitions, sample infringement still occurred more, accounting for 20%. This happened at this year's bathroom exhibition in Milan, Italy. China Pavilion has a company whose products are not suspected of infringement. However, in the picture they posted on the booth, a sewage treatment pump was accused of infringement by an Italian manufacturer. As a result, all the products and sample pictures of the company were copied away.
