What documents do I need to submit to apply for a design patent?

Legal analysis: It is stipulated in the Patent Law that after the products are combined in appearance, color and pattern, their effects can be aesthetic, can be applied to industrial design and can apply for patent protection. However, the application for a patent for design and the pictures or photos of the design need to be submitted in duplicate, and it is best to submit the pictures or photos in a unified way, rather than mixing them.

Legal basis: the design granted the patent right in Article 23 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) does not belong to the existing design; Before the filing date, no unit or individual has filed an application with the patent administration department of the State Council for the same design, and it is recorded in the patent documents published after the filing date. Compared with the existing design or the combination of existing design features, the patented design should have obvious differences. A design that has been granted a patent right shall not conflict with the legal rights that others have obtained before the date of application. Existing designs as mentioned in this Law refer to designs known to the public at home and abroad before the date of application.
