Besides trademarks, copyrights and patents, what other ways are there to protect your original design?

First of all, about how to protect the original design, or honestly register the registered trademark, don't be lazy to apply for a patent. The most effective means to protect your original design is legal means. Legal weapon is the sharpest weapon in the process of protecting intellectual property rights. In other words, in addition to timely certification of your original design, publication, registered trademark and patent application, the speed must be fast. If it is a book or an article, you can still tell it. But if you apply for trademarks and patents in time, it is not excluded that someone will have the same or highly similar ideas as you, nor can you say who copied them. After all, everyone is studying those things. If others move quickly, your research will be wasted, so don't be lazy. Be sure to prove your design is original in time and effectively.

Secondly, besides trademarks, copyrights and patents, there are also papers related to your original design, which is also important evidence to protect your original design. Apart from laws and regulations related to intellectual property protection, what is the best way to protect your original design? The manuscript? Today's manuscripts are generally owned by the original author, and are generally a series of huge and complex documents. From it, we can see that your initial design has been revised and improved many times from a simple idea to the final product. This is the most important and fundamental evidence to prove that the author of this design is you and that your design is original rather than copied. Therefore, in the design process, we must keep our papers well. After completing the design, you'd better arrange your papers in chronological order, keep them for filing, and don't leak them to others at will.

Moreover, in addition to legal means and manuscript evidence, we can only count on public opinion. In addition to cybersquatting, of course, if a trademark is cybersquatting, you can try a lawsuit, and it is generally obvious that a trademark is cybersquatting, which is a disgusting behavior, but everyone knows that this is cybersquatting, and most other things about intellectual property have obvious styles. For example, everyone's design has its own style, which can't be easily changed over the years, and so can patents. What you study and how far you study are probably known to your peers, so sometimes even if someone steals your research results or even leaks the manuscript, the public can tell who is the owner of this intellectual property right. So at this time, you may be at a legal disadvantage, but you have the upper hand in morality and public opinion, but don't expect those who infringe your intellectual property rights to give up admitting their despicable behavior because of public criticism.

Finally, we should strengthen the awareness of intellectual property rights, not only to protect our own intellectual property rights, but also not to infringe others' intellectual property rights. Think about how difficult it is to have an inspiration and turn it into a work, so you must strengthen your awareness of property rights protection, take good care of the manuscript during the creation process, and take legal measures to identify it when the work is completed. Don't take chances, don't be lazy, understand? Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you? Don't infringe others' intellectual property rights.
