本文试图给出外观设计专利创造性判断的基本審查方法:第一步,确定用以对比的外观设计或者外观设计特徵;第二步,将涉案外观设计专利与用以对比的外观设计或者外观设计特征相比,找出区别;第三步,以涉案外观设计专利所属产品的“本领域设计人员”作为判断主体,确定外观设计所属产品的设计空间,据此判断上述区别是否明显。

This paper attempts to give a basic review of the creative judgments of design patents: the first step is to determine the design or design features to be compared; the second step is to compare the design patents involved with the design or design features Compared to identify the difference; the third step, with the design of the product involved in the design patent “in the field of designers ” as the main body of judgment to determine the design of the design of products belonging to the design, thus judging whether the above distinction is obvious.
