Can I apply for a patent for the outer packaging of the product? If so, can someone else make the same product, but the size is different, apply for compensation?

A: You can apply for a patent for the design of product packaging. 1. The principle of judging the same: the same article and the same design are judged to be the same. The so-called goods are the same, which means that the uses and functions of the products are exactly the same. For example, mechanical watches and electronic watches have different structures, but their uses and functions are the same, so they are the same product. The same design means the same shape, pattern and color (or combination). The design contents of general products include: simple shape or pattern design; Design combining modeling with pattern; Design combining pattern and color; A design that combines shapes, patterns and colors. For a design that combines two or more elements, only when two or more elements are exactly the same can it be judged as the same design.

2, the principle of judging similarity:

The article is the same, the design is similar, and the judgment is similar; The articles are similar, the designs are the same, and the judgments are similar; Similar articles, similar designs and similar judgments. The so-called similarity of articles refers to similar products, that is, articles with the same purpose and different functions. For example, pens and ballpoint pens are both writing tools with the same function, but different functions, so they belong to the same kind of items.

You can apply for compensation.
