According to the examination opinions of the appearance patent, the appearance on Taobao is very close to the appearance I want to declare. How to reply to this audit opinion and ask for templates and suggestions? Article 2 of the Patent Law describes the requirements for design patents as follows: "Design refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application based on the shape, pattern or combination of products, and the combination of color, shape and pattern." In other words, your design has no novelty in appearance, such as conventional circle, square, diamond, oval and so on. And it should be strange and beautiful. This is the most basic feature of all patents. It can be understood that the design patent also requires aesthetic feeling. If you design a dinner plate, you will make it look like a urinal. From the novelty point of view, it is a new design. No one has seen it or applied for a patent, but it does not have aesthetic feeling, which makes people sick at first sight. It is obviously inappropriate to apply for the appearance as tableware. It should also be suitable for industrial applications. For example, a round manhole cover will not fall in no matter how it is placed. More scientific and practical than the square one. If your design was originally only square, why did you change it to round? Is it to reduce the floor space (space) or to enhance safety, durability and color? Let you answer, that is, let you explain how your design ideas are different from others.
