Does the car's shape design also have intellectual property rights? Can a small change be called infringement?

The shape design of the car has intellectual property rights. Appearance design refers to a new design with aesthetic feeling and suitable for industrial application based on the shape, pattern or combination of products and the combination of color and shape and pattern. The appearance of a product can choose to apply for a patent for utility model or a patent for design according to its own specific conditions, which is protected by the patent law.
