If someone imitates a patent, to what extent is it considered infringement?

There are similarities (imitations) in the unique aspects of others' patents, which are regarded as infringement. We must first understand the concept that copying other people's goods for profit, and the imitated goods are protected by patents, which will be judged as infringement. The patent application will only be rejected or authorized, and there is no infringement.

Invention refers to a new technical scheme proposed for a product, method or its improvement. Uniqueness model refers to the practical technical scheme proposed for the shape, structure or combination of products.

Appearance design refers to the new design of the shape, pattern or their combination of products and the combination of color, shape and pattern, which is suitable for industrial application. So can any invention be patented? The answer isno. Inventions and utility models that can be patented should have "three characteristics", namely novelty, creativity and practicality.

Novelty means that the invention or utility model does not belong to the prior art. Creativity means that compared with the prior art, the invention has outstanding substantive features and remarkable progress, and the utility model has substantive features and progress. Practicality means that the invention or utility model can be manufactured or used and can produce positive effects.

In short, patents refer to undisclosed inventions and designs that are more advanced than the existing technical solutions and can improve the efficiency of industrial production.

Therefore, it is impossible to obtain a patent simply by "imitating" other people's patents. Because, patent applications that do not have novelty and creativity will definitely be rejected by the State Information Bureau at the initial stage. If you profit from copying other people's goods, and the imitated goods are protected by patents, this is a real infringement of patent rights.
