Do similar designs infringe patents?

Legal analysis: determine whether there is infringement according to the following standards: 1. Determine whether the accused infringing product is the same as the patented product of design. If it does not belong to similar products, it generally does not constitute an infringement of the patent right of design. 2. The eyes of ordinary consumers are the standard for judging design infringement. Only the eyes of ordinary consumers here are objective and fair. Different goods have different consumers, so we should define their consumer groups according to the products of the case when making judgments.
