Infringement of appearance patent? The list has been blocked. Brand infringing products are Amazon's high-voltage lines. Most of the time, we can hardly find any patent for appearance function except whether the trademark has been registered. Patent appearance patent infringement is also risky, and it may close the store, so everyone must consider the risk of appearance patent infringement in the first place. How does Amazon define appearance infringement? Amazon stipulates that new designs made by shapes, patterns, colors or their combinations, which are aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial applications, are simple and similar. As long as more than 60% of acquaintances complain about infringement, they will be punished. Under normal circumstances, everyone will encounter infringement in the early selection or actual operation. The following small series will simply share with you some judgment methods of appearance patent infringement. Judgment method 1. To judge whether appearance patents are similar, we should first treat them differently according to their shapes. Such as furniture, electrical appliances and other three-dimensional modeling should be based on modeling, supplemented by patterns and colors; Carpet, wallpaper, printed fabric, etc. Should be based on patterns, supplemented by modeling; Generally speaking, the difference in color is not a separate condition for judging approximation. 2. By direct comparison with naked eyes, there is not much difference in the external structure, and only a slight change in the local area can be judged as an infringing product. 3. The size, material and internal structure of products shall not be used as the basis for judging whether they are the same or similar. These contents are not protected by design and will be excluded from the authorization review. 4. The design does not consider pure functional design. For example, tires or basketball, from the functional point of view, the specific properties of tires and basketball must be round, and no one will change the tires of their cars to square ones. Therefore, in the patent judgment of tire appearance, roundness is not regarded as the basis for judging infringement, but more attention is paid to the stripes outside the tire. In addition, the infringement types of Amazon sellers also include image and brand infringement. Once any form of infringement is committed, the account may be frozen. Picture infringement: stealing other people's pictures directly without their consent belongs to picture infringement. The way to avoid picture infringement is actually very simple, that is, sellers use their own pictures instead of downloading or copying other people's pictures from the Internet, and all use original pictures.
