Answer: ABCD [Hint] This question examines the conditions for granting a patent for a design

Article 23 of the "Patent Law" stipulates: "The design for which patent rights are granted shall be filed with the application Designs that have been publicly published in domestic and foreign publications or have been publicly used domestically before Japan are not identical or similar and shall not conflict with other people's previously acquired legal rights. "This article stipulates that patents are granted for designs. As for the requirement of novelty, since the appearance design is only an aesthetic design of the appearance of the product, not a technical solution, it cannot be required to be technically advanced. Therefore, the provisions of this article are not only a requirement for novelty, but also a requirement for novelty. The originality requirement is only that the originality requirement of the design is actually included in the novelty. Therefore, the design patent must first meet the conditions of novelty and originality. Items A and C are correct. Article 2, paragraph 3, of the "Patent Law Implementing Rules" stipulates: "The term "design" in the Patent Law refers to the shape, pattern or combination of the product and the combination of color, shape, and pattern that are aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industry. New design for application. "It can be seen from this definition that the appearance design must be aesthetic and suitable for industrial applications, that is, practical, so items B and D are also correct.
