There are four main types of intellectual property infringement:

The first type is trademark infringement, which is the last thing we want to see, because it is the most blatant type of infringement. Before 1998, this kind of infringement occurred more frequently, and it has gradually decreased in recent years with the improvement of intellectual property awareness of most enterprises.

the second kind of infringement is copying the appearance, structure and principle of others. This kind of infringement happened the most in recent years, accounting for 8% of the whole infringement cases.

the third kind of infringement is the alleged infringement of the color, packaging and fixture of the goods. When it comes to the color of goods, some people may wonder whether color can also constitute infringement, but in fact there is such a thing. Some foreign businessmen are very cunning. They may register the color of their products in a certain area, and other manufacturers' products cannot use this color when they enter the area.

the fourth category is sample infringement. In previous exhibitions, sample infringement still happened more, accounting for 2%. This happened at this year's bathroom exhibition in Milan, Italy. There is a company in the China Pavilion whose products are not suspected of infringement. However, in the pictures they posted on the booth, a sewage treatment pump was accused of infringement by an Italian manufacturer. As a result, all the products and sample pictures of the company were copied away.
