1. Prevent further infringement: By applying for a design patent, you can prove that the design is your creation and enjoy exclusive rights. This can prevent others from continuing to infringe on your design right, because you can use the patent right to warn the infringer, seek to stop the infringement and investigate the tort liability.
2. Extend the protection period: design patents usually have a certain protection period, and applying for a patent can ensure that you have exclusive rights to the design within the legal scope. This will help you protect your creativity and business interests and prevent others from using similar designs for a certain period of time.
3. Stronger legal basis: Having a patent certificate for appearance can provide a stronger legal basis for safeguarding one's rights and interests. You can claim your own rights and interests according to the patent right, sue for infringement and seek compensation and legal relief.
