Is the design patent universal all over the world?
Patents are regional! According to the principle of patent independence stipulated in the Paris Convention, the regionality of patent right means that the patent right granted by a country according to its own patent law is only valid within its legal jurisdiction and is not binding on other countries. A foreign country does not undertake the obligation to protect its patent, and only obtains a patent right for an invention and creation in China, then the patentee only enjoys the patent right or exclusive right in China. If someone produces, uses or sells the invention in other countries and regions, it is not an infringement.
