Can a clothing style apply for a patent for appearance?
Design patent: a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application, which is based on the shape, pattern or combination of products and the combination of color and shape and pattern. The new design can be a graphic design of lines, patterns or colors, or a three-dimensional modeling of the product. You can't apply for a patent for clothing style and appearance. Clothing is a mass product, and its dissemination itself is a process of reproduction, which is very different from the dissemination of technical products in use. Through constant copying and variation, a new style is formed. In practice, no two clothes are exactly the same, so patents can't protect inventors. For example, your design is inlaid with red. Can I use green? If we must strictly put an end to plagiarism, then many of the whimsy of the masters will not enter our lives. In a sense, the master's popular release is actually popular source code, and many detailed designs are for the reference of ordinary designers. If quotation is absolutely forbidden, then clothing is not a fashion industry, but a technology industry.
