East Ocean University, which was next to East Ocean City No.1 Middle School, had a legal aid center. Law students volunteered to provide free legal advice and legal document writing services. Every Monday and Wednesday, experienced old professors would come to the legal aid center.
After Wang Sicheng asked the security guard, he went to the legal aid center under his guidance.
"Hello, junior. Are you asking about a law-related question?”
A fat law student walked toward Wang Sicheng. He wore black-rimmed glasses and a badge from the legal aid center on his chest. He was a volunteer and a law graduate student.
"Yes."
Wang Sicheng nodded.
"Please fill out this 'Registration Form for the Party Concerned Accepting the Willpower's Law-Seeking Services'.”
The fat law graduate student handed Wang Sicheng a form.
"Alright."
Wang Sicheng took the form.
"Fill in your basic information on this form.”
The fat law graduate student handed Wang Sicheng a pen.
"Shua shua shua!"
Wang Sicheng simply filled in his information.
On the service page, he wrote," How do I apply for a patent for clothes? What was the process of applying for a clothing patent? The materials needed to apply?"
" Patents for clothes?"
The fat law graduate student was shocked. He looked at Wang Sicheng in front of him. He was not old, but he had already started to apply for a patent for clothes. This person was either a newborn calf that was not afraid of tigers or a very talented person.
"When you apply for a clothing patent, you are actually applying for a design patent.”
The fat law graduate student felt that he had to emphasize the legal provisions regarding design patents in case the young man in front of him did not know the severity of the situation and applied for a design patent on a whim.
"The design patent is the object of the patent right and the object of protection under the patent law. It refers to the design that should be granted a patent right according to law.”
"It is completely different from an invention or utility model, and the design is not a technical solution.”
"The second article of our country's 'patent law' states: 'Exterior design refers to the shape, pattern, or their combination of products, as well as the combination of color, shape, and pattern, which is a new design that is aesthetic and used for industrial applications. Therefore, the requirements that a design patent should meet are…"
He deliberately looked at Wang Sicheng and said word by word,"1. It refers to the design of shapes, patterns, colors, or a combination of them.”
"2. It must be a design for the appearance of the product.”
" 3. Must be beautiful."
"4. It must be suitable for industrial applications.”
"Do you understand?"
The fat law graduate student looked at Wang Sicheng and said in a serious tone.
"Yes, I understand."
"What about the process of applying for a patent?”
Wang Sicheng asked.
"The process of applying for an invention patent: 1. The applicants submit the application materials according to the regulations.”
The fat law graduate student patiently provided legal assistance.
"2. Accept and pay: Accept the application with the State intellectual property office and the party concerned will pay the patent application fee.”
" 3. Initial review: After the State intellectual property office accepts the case, it will conduct a preliminary review.”
" 4. Announce in advance: Announce it after the initial review.”
" 5. Materialistic Examination: The State intellectual property office will carry out a materialistic examination according to the request of the applicants.”
" 6. Registration of authorization: After the examination is passed, the invention patent will be authorized, and it will be registered and announced.”
He first explained the process of applying for a patent.
Then, he paused for a moment, leaving time for Wang Sicheng to digest it.
"Yes."
With Wang Sicheng's photographic memory, the fat law graduate student only had to say it once before he remembered it.
"To apply for an actual appearance patent, you should submit a picture or photo.”
"The picture or photograph should clearly show the design of the product for which patent protection is sought. For an application for a design patent that requests color protection, the applicants shall submit color pictures or photographs.”
"The name of the design patent."
"If the applicants are from a company, they need to be stamped by the company. If the applicants are from an individual, they need to sign.”
"The applicants need a copy of the business license for the unit, and the applicants need to provide a copy of their personal ID card for the individual.”
"Please provide clear information such as the name of the applicants, their address, telephone number, zip code, and the name of the designer.”
The fat law graduate student took out a law book, flipped to the page he wanted, and handed it to Wang Sicheng.
He looked at the specific design requirements in the book.
"1. For the appearance design of a three-dimensional product, if the actual point of the product involves six sides, a six-sided orthoprojection view should be submitted.”
"2. When necessary, the applicants should also submit the unfolding drawing, cross-section drawing, cross-section drawing, enlarged drawing, and state of the product.”
" 3. Colors include black, white, gray, and colored series. For the design patent application that claims to protect the color in the brief description, the color of the picture should be firmly colored and not easy to fade.”
" 4. The names of the six-sided orthography view refer to the front view, back view, left view, right view, top view, and bottom view. The name of each view should be marked directly below the corresponding view. The side corresponding to the main view should be the side that usually faces the consumer when in use or the side that reflects the overall design of the product to the greatest extent. For example, the front view of a cup with a cup handle should be the view of the cup handle on the side.”
" 5. Requirements for photos: The photos should be clear to avoid the product's design being unable to be clearly displayed due to focusing and other reasons. The background of the photo should be simple to avoid other contents other than the product of the design.
The photo shooting should usually follow the ortho-projection rule to avoid the distortion caused by perspective affecting the expression of the product's design.
The photos should avoid affecting the expression of the product design due to strong light, reflection, shadow, reflection, etc.
The product in the photo should usually avoid including internal decorations or foil, but if it is necessary to rely on the internal decorations or foil to clearly show the design of the product, it is allowed to retain the internal decorations or foil.”
There were many requests and they were very detailed. Wang Sicheng read them word by word. No wonder the volunteer didn't say anything and directly threw him a book.
"Looks like I have to make some adjustments to my design.”
Wang Sicheng thought to himself.
"Thank you."
He stood up and thanked the fat law graduate student.
"You're welcome."
"I hope you are satisfied."
The fat law graduate student pointed at the column of the client's attitude towards the service and the evaluation of the service quality in the "Registration Form for the client to accept volunteer legal services" and said,"I hope you are satisfied."
"I'm satisfied."
Wang Sicheng ticked a tick in the column next to the word 'satisfied'.
"Yes."
The fat law graduate student said," You have to pay attention when applying for a design patent. The size of the picture or photo should be between 3 cm x 8 cm and 15 cm x 22 cm.”
"The pictures must be drawn using a computer or a regular drawing tool.”
"The proportions of each attempt must be the same.”
"There must not be any graphics or words in the picture or photograph that do not form a design, such as a trademark, logo, portrait of a celebrity, or any indication line, center line, or size mark.”
" Time required: It usually takes about 3-6 months from the application to the authorization. The design patent certificate will be issued within three months after the authorization procedures are completed.”
"Thank you."
Wang Sicheng thanked him again.
The application for fashion design was far more complicated than he had imagined, and it took more time.
