What is the examination system of design patent application?

Legal analysis: China adopts a formal examination system for patent applications for utility models and designs, also known as the registration system, that is, as long as the patent management department thinks that the application procedures are complete and conform to the legal provisions, the patent right will be granted.

Legal basis: Article 40 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If the application for a patent for utility model and design is rejected after preliminary examination, the patent administration department in the State Council shall make a decision to grant the patent right for utility model or design, issue the corresponding patent certificate, and register and announce it at the same time. The patent right for utility model and the patent right for design shall take effect as of the date of announcement.
