How to apply for a clothing patent in Chengdu?
The judgment of patent type is the first step for the applicant.
According to the appearance, function and type of our patent application, it can be located in the design patent and utility model patent. For example, if the clothes designed by the applicant are beautiful in appearance or novel and distinctive, then you can fill in the application form for design patent and prepare the clothing design pattern for authorization.
However, if the clothes designed by the applicant are not only beautiful, novel and unique, but also have unique functions that other clothes do not have, such as self-cultivation, abdomen reduction, hip lifting and so on. Then when you apply for an invention patent for this design, you can also apply for a utility model patent and get double protection. Most people have a misconception that an invention can only apply for one type of patent. But in fact, the appearance of a product is often the result of multiple patents. Compared with other products with more complex structures, there are actually few patents on clothing, such as computers and other products with fine structures.
When the design pattern of clothing comes out and a patent for appearance or utility model is applied, in fact, another kind of copyright is automatically obtained. Although this right can be obtained automatically, designers still need to go to relevant departments to submit registration requests later. In addition, in the process of applying for a clothing patent, because the production of clothing will be greatly restricted by the season, the clothing designed in summer needs to be put into production as much as possible before the arrival of summer, but the time required to apply for a design patent or a new patent is far beyond this time period.
Therefore, it is easy for the merchants who design clothes to put the designed clothes into production before authorization, because it is uncertain whether there has been such a patent of the same design in the market, which will easily lead to the possibility of infringing others' patents. In addition, even if the designer successfully applied for the patent of clothing design, it is easy for others to use this patent for transformation, such as the production of round neck changing into square collar and long sleeve changing into short sleeve, and even if it holds the patent, it is difficult to play its role.
