1. A design that requires novelty, that is, a design that has been granted a patent right, shall be different from or not similar to a design that has been published in domestic and foreign publications or publicly used in China before the filing date.
2, the need for practicality, that is, the patent design must be suitable for industrial applications. This requires that the design itself and the product as a carrier can be replicated repeatedly in an industrialized way, that is, it can be mass-produced in industry.
3, need to be beautiful, that is, the patented design must be beautiful. Aesthetic feeling refers to the pleasant feeling of design from visual perception, which is not necessarily related to the advanced functions of products. Aesthetic design plays an important role in expanding product sales.
4. Do not conflict with the prior legal rights of others. The prior rights here include trademark right, copyright, enterprise name right, portrait right and the right to use the unique packaging and decoration of well-known goods. "Prior acquisition" refers to the acquisition before the application date or priority date of the design.
