What is the similarity of appearance patents?
Appearance patent similarity reaches more than 60%, which is regarded as infringement. When judging whether the appearance patent is infringing, if the appearance similarity of two products reaches more than 60%, it is regarded as infringement. Design patent, also known as industrial design, refers to the novel and aesthetic design of the shape, pattern, color or their combination of products suitable for industrial application. This design can be all or part of the product appearance, and the key lies in its visual expression and innovation. The object of design patent protection is the industrial design of the product, that is, the product style, which is different from the invention or utility model patent, because the design patent does not involve technical solutions, but focuses on the aesthetic characteristics and visual effects of the product.
