Can the appearance of birds used in industrial product design be patented?
The industrial design of bird appearance can apply for design. The so-called design patent refers to a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application, which is made on the shape, pattern or combination of products and the combination of color and shape and pattern. Therefore, the design patent is essentially a design scheme, which protects the appearance characteristics of products, which must be embodied by specific products, which can be produced and copied by industrial methods. This appearance can be characterized by the three-dimensional modeling of the product, the surface pattern of the product or the combination of the two, but it cannot be divorced from the pattern or graphic design of the specific product.
