Two cases of design patent protection, hundreds of sellers have been sued

Among infringement cases, the simplest and most common one is trademark infringement, especially for some big brands, which can easily take advantage of the popularity. In addition, some copyright and appearance patent sellers cannot be ignored. Recently, two brands have launched appearance patent protection, namely swimming vests and toy storage bags.

Swimming vest

Among children's various recreational activities, playing in the water is also indispensable, but even if there are family members watching over them, safety protection measures are necessary, such as life buoys, safety clothes, swimming vests, etc. Amazon has many related products. Recently, a swimming vest has launched a rights protection.

This swimming vest has a high rating of 5 stars on Amazon , with more than 10,000 reviews, which shows how popular it is. This swimming vest is suitable for children weighing 33-35 pounds, with anti-chafing fabric and safety shoulder straps to prevent the vest from slipping during use. There are more than a dozen styles for buyers to choose from.

The rights protection this time mainly involves appearance patents, and 135 stores have been sued. The following are some of the appearance patents of this product. Compared with ordinary swimming vests, the unique design of the shoulders is worth noting. Sellers should pay attention to self-checking to avoid spoilers.

Toy Storage Bag

Children always need toys, but if so many toys are piled up at home and not organized properly, it will inevitably look messy. This is when special toy storage bags come in handy.

The toy storage bag that initiated the rights protection is also sold on Amazon. It combines the functions of a game mat and a storage bag. When playing, you only need to spread out the mat, and when you are done, you can easily organize it by pulling the drawstring. However, sellers should be aware that this product also has the risk of infringement.

In addition to the word trademark "SLIDEWAY", the main right protection of this product is also the appearance patent, and some Amazon sellers have been frozen. A search on Amazon shows that there are many similar products. Relevant sellers should pay attention to check and if there is any infringement, remember to remove it from the shelves in time.

In addition to word trademarks, sellers of appearance patents should also be careful to avoid them. The best strategy is to get inspiration from other sellers' products, constantly innovate and transform, and create their own original best-selling products.
