First, see if you have any requirements for color protection, that is, if you have any requirements for protecting the original yellow car.
Second, you should know that the general protective color will narrow the scope of protection, because you only protect the original yellow.
The black-and-white version has a better chance of winning than the color version, so it is best not to ask for color protection in the face of such design patents.
If the design patent requires color protection, the scope of protection will usually be reduced. However, if color is an obvious feature of your product.
If you want to distinguish colors from existing products, copying colors will be a big taboo for you. At this time, asking for color protection can help you determine whether competitors infringe. Therefore, whether to protect the color depends on whether the color has obvious characteristics for the design of your product.
Patent literally refers to exclusive rights and interests. The word "patent" comes from Latin "Litterae patentes", which means open letters or open documents. It is a certificate used by medieval monarchs to issue certain privileges, and later refers to the exclusive right certificate signed by the British king himself.
In modern times, patents are generally documents issued by government agencies or regional organizations representing several countries according to their applications, which record the contents of inventions and creations.
And in a certain period of time, there will be a legal state, that is, under normal circumstances, patented inventions can only be implemented by others with the permission of the patentee. In China, there are three kinds of patents: inventions, utility models and designs.
Such a huge information resource is far from being fully utilized. In fact, for enterprise organizations, patents are the only place where competitors have to disclose some key information to the public, and these information will not be disclosed elsewhere.
Therefore, the analyst of enterprise competitive intelligence can get a lot of useful information from patent literature through careful, rigorous, comprehensive and relevant analysis, so that the published patent information can be used by enterprises.
