In order to help you better understand the knowledge of related patents, Intellectual Property has compiled relevant contents. Let's have a look. 1. How much is the design patent? The fees for applying for a patent for design include application fee, application surcharge and publishing and printing fee; Patent registration fee, announcement printing fee, annual fee and other fees, the specific charging standards shall be implemented in accordance with the standards formulated by the price management department of the State Council and the financial department jointly with the patent administration department of the State Council. 2. How long is the validity period of the design patent? The patent protection period of design in China is 10 year. In the design application of 1993, less than 10% obtained the patent, and the patent protection period reached 10 year. Most people apply for patents only to obtain patent certificates, so as to obtain professional titles, taxes and other benefits. Therefore, after obtaining the patent, we do not have the consciousness of applying the patent to industrial production, and many patents lose their patents because of the patentee. Some patentees only want to obtain short-term commercial benefits, and do not take it as their own brand products to occupy the market for a long time. For some powerful and strategic enterprises, it is hoped that their products can occupy the market for a long time and get effective legal protection. For them, the protection period of 10 years is relatively short. For designs, the protection period is different in different countries' laws: the protection period of Japanese designs is from the date of approval of registration 15 years; In Germany, the protection period is 20 years from the date of application; In Britain, the protection period is 5 years from the date of registration, which can be extended for 4 times for 5 years each time; In the United States, the protection period is 14 years from the date of issuance of the certificate; In France, the protection period is 25 years from the date of application, which can be extended for another 25 years after the registrant declares. It can be seen that the protection period of design patents in China is relatively short compared with developed countries. Three, the design patent infringement standards that without the consent of the patentee, unauthorized use may constitute infringement; Determine whether the patented product of design and the infringing product belong to the same or similar goods; Usually it is based on the function and use of the product, and at the same time, it refers to similar designs in the world.
