What are the characteristics of a product design? In order to apply for a patent for a product design, we must first clearly understand its features and principles. Generally speaking, a product design has the following four characteristics:

1. The product must be used as the carrier. A product is an item that has a fixed shape and can be moved as a whole. Gaseous, liquid, granular and building products cannot be the carrier of the product design. The product must be reproducible, and the simple shape, pattern, color or combination thereof that leaves the product carrier cannot become a product design.

2. What constitutes the design of a product is the combination of product shape, pattern or combination thereof, color and shape and pattern. Color cannot constitute a design independently, and can only be a design when combined with the shape or pattern of the product. Therefore, the design includes the following combinations: the shape of the product; product patterns; the shape and pattern of the product; the shape and color of the product; the pattern and color of the product; The shapes, patterns and colors of the products are available in six combinations. Shape refers to the external three-dimensional shape of the product. Color refers to the color or combination of colors used on the design product, and is not the color of the product itself. A pattern refers to the arrangement or combination of lines designed in various ways.

    3. The product design should be aesthetically pleasing. Exterior design focuses on visual effects, so the product design is required to be aesthetically pleasing.

4. The product design must be a new design suitable for industrial applications.

Shenzhen Oumeng Product Design Co., Ltd. reminds that among the objects of protection of intellectual property rights, design is relatively special, and design issues involve patent rights, copyright law, trademark law and anti-unfair competition law. The design of a product does not just refer to the appearance of the product. The so-called product design refers to the new design that is aesthetically pleasing to the shape, pattern or combination thereof, and the combination of color and shape and pattern of the product, and is suitable for industrial use.

In general, the combinations that can make up a product design are: the shape of the product; the pattern of the product; the shape and pattern of the product; the shape and color of the product; the pattern and color of the product; The shape, pattern and color of the product.

The appearance shape of industrial products refers to the design of product shapes, that is, the appearance outline presented by the movement, change and combination of points, lines and surfaces outside the product, that is, the results of simultaneous design and manufacturing of the structure and shape of the product;

The appearance pattern of industrial products refers to the graphics formed on the surface of the product by the arrangement or combination of any lines, words, symbols, and color blocks. The appearance pattern of the product should be fixed and visible, and should not be intermittent or need to be visible under certain conditions.

The color of an industrial product refers to the color or combination of colors used on the product, and the natural color of the material used in the manufacture of the product is not the color of the design. The color of the product does not constitute a design on its own, unless the color change of the product itself has formed a pattern.
