1. What are the conditions for complaining about the infringement of an appearance patent?
(1) There is an object of infringement: that is, the infringement must be a patented product or method protected by the patent law, and the implementation of a patent that has been declared invalid or abandoned does not constitute infringement;
(2) There are legal infringements: such as manufacturing, using, selling or promising to sell or import other people's patented products, or using other people's patented methods to use, sell or import products directly obtained by this method;
(3) for the purpose of production and operation: that is, for the purpose of making profits, the patented technology is specially used for scientific research and experiments.
The act of manufacturing or using patented products or patented methods for non-profit purposes such as hobbies or personal use is not patent infringement;
(4) Without the permission of the patentee: If it is carried out with the permission or acquiescence of the patentee, it does not constitute infringement.
