Is it possible to avoid patents if you change the shape of bait eyes?
Whether changing the shape of the bait eye can evade the patent depends on the specific patent content and the degree of intentional infringement. Patents can protect novel, unobvious and practical inventions. If the eye shape of the bait has been patented by others, then unauthorized use of the same or similar design constitutes patent infringement. Even if the shape of the bait eye has been changed, if it is still suspected of infringing patent rights, it may still face legal risks. Therefore, if new bait products are to be launched, it is best to conduct patent search and analysis in advance to ensure that the patent rights of others will not be infringed.
