[Legal Analysis]: Imitating a patent is an infringement. Patent right is the exclusive right granted by the State Patent Office to the patentee for invention and creation within a certain period of time. After the patent is granted, no one else may produce or sell the patented product without the permission of the patentee. Patent right refers to the exclusive right granted by the state to the inventor or designer within a certain period of time in accordance with legal procedures on the premise that the invention content is open and the invention has legitimate interests to the society. How can the legal basis prevent the products designed by ourselves from being counterfeited?
This design patent is difficult to define, and it is difficult to define who designed it first and who came up with it first. Because in today's society, there are too many cases of similar design, and the situation of copying each other and learning from each other can be seen everywhere.
If your work is excellent, I suggest that you can publish it in major newspapers and apply for a patent or copyright, which will play a protective role, but you should also be prepared to crack down on counterfeiting and safeguard your rights and interests.
