The relevant patent law will also protect the color of the product, but at this time it is necessary to combine the color with the pattern and shape of the product itself. At the same time, different or dissimilar colors are excluded from the scope of patent protection. The definition of design patent in the third paragraph of Article 2 of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application for the shape, pattern, color or their combination of products. Because solid color can't be design, exterior design includes the following categories: 1, simple exterior design; 2. Simple pattern design; 3. Design combining form and pattern; 4. Design of combination of modeling and color; 5. Design of combination of pattern and color; 6. Design combining shape, pattern and color.
