It refers to the layout mode of applying for a patent for one or more technical solutions necessary to achieve a certain technical goal and forming a roadblock patent. The advantage of roadblock layout is low application and maintenance cost, but the disadvantage is that competitors can bypass the roadblock by avoiding design.
2. Wall layout
It refers to the layout mode of all evasive design schemes applying for patents to achieve a certain technical goal, forming a wall patent. Wall layout can prevent competitors from invading their own technical territory, and does not give competitors any space to escape design and find alternatives.
3. Carpet layout
It refers to patenting all technical solutions to achieve a certain technical goal or product, and forming the layout mode of carpet patent network. This model can effectively limit the entry of competitors, but its disadvantage is that the cost is too high, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
4. Fence layout
It means that when the core patents are mastered by competitors, many technical solutions around the technical theme will apply for patents, forming a fence patent layout model. This model is very suitable for "technology-following" enterprises that entered this field later.
5. Jungle layout
1, the basic patent is in the hands of competitors, so you can apply for a large number of peripheral patents for this patented technology, and surround the competitors' basic patents with multiple peripheral patents, just like the bushes around the tree. This can effectively prevent competitors' basic patents from expanding around, thus greatly weakening the value of competitors' basic patents.
2. When the basic patent is in the hands of the enterprise, don't forget to pre-empt, arrange jungle patents around your own basic patents, closely protect your own basic patents, and don't give your opponents the opportunity to implement this patent layout.
