How can enterprises avoid patent infringement?

1. In the process of developing new products, some enterprises will imitate some well-known products that have been favored by consumers and get good market returns by developing similar functions. This kind of blind imitation is unacceptable and may lead to patent infringement disputes. Once an enterprise infringes the patent right of others, it will face the adverse consequences such as paying fines, confiscating illegal income, sealing up or detaining products. Therefore, when developing this new product, your company should pay attention to avoid blindly imitating similar products at home and abroad, so as not to fall into the scope of patent protection of others and constitute patent infringement.

2. Whether the enterprise completely creatively improves product functions or develops new products should be fully investigated in advance. Therefore, your company should carefully investigate whether there are any patents related to this newly developed product. If yes, what is the type of patent, what is the scope of patent protection, and whether there is the same or similar technical content as this new product. If your company can't collect patent information independently and comprehensively, you can also entrust professionals to help collect information, and on this basis, carefully study the continuous information to determine the research and development direction of new products.

3. Before R&D, the enterprise should determine the technical content of key R&D, so as to avoid too much R&D work at the same time and disperse the technical force, thus failing to achieve the expected goal. Therefore, when developing this new product, your company should choose one or two core functions of the product for research and development according to the actual research and development level and objective conditions of the company, strive to achieve technological breakthroughs, and patent protect relevant technical solutions in order to gain market opportunities.
