How to judge the patent application for similar designs?
An application for a patent for design shall be limited to one design. Two or more similar designs of the same product, or two or more designs of products used in the same category and sold or used in sets, may be filed as one application. The first requirement for similar design applications is that similar designs must belong to the same product. Designs that do not belong to the same product, even if their appearance characteristics are exactly the same, cannot be put forward in one application. For the appearance design that meets the same product, the following three steps are generally followed when judging whether it constitutes an approximate design: 1. Determine the basic design. 2. Identify the same or similar design features. 3. Judge whether they constitute similar designs. In the transfer of patent right, the design patent can be transferred as a whole or separately, and benefit from it.
