外观设计知识产权

外观设计

About

您的产品设计具有唯一性,值得受到保护。

不论从事消费品、医疗器械、药品、重型设备、服装、体育用品行业,还是图形用户界面等领域,公司一旦在设计研发方面投入巨资,保护措施即变得十分重要。设计让您在竞争中脱颖而出,赋予产品独特性,帮助您保持竞争优势。在携手客户保护其设计时,飞翰细致了解客户的产品及该产品在客户整体商业计划和竞争格局中的重要意义。对大环境的了解有助于我们编写和取得更强势、更有效的外观设计专利,高筑市场壁垒,保护产品不仅免受赤裸裸的“盗版伪造”,还抑制更为隐晦的仿造设计感行为。

我们的经验涵盖外观设计专利的整个有效期。

获得外观设计专利并不是全部。我们还参与后续工作。从新产品开发到取得专利、诉讼、上诉以及专利组合出售,飞翰均能提供帮助。我们代表客户出席过地区法院、美国专利商标局(USPTO)、专利审判和上诉委员会(PTAB)、国际贸易委员会(ITC),美国联邦巡回上诉法院和美国最高法院有关外观设计专利的事务。作为知识产权交易的一部分,我们定期为客户提供侵权、有效性和自由使用权方面的建议,并针对外观设计权利提供精确、全面评估。近期,我们代表客户出席专利审判和上诉委员会关于外观设计专利的授权后复审和推理——两者均涉及高度专业事宜。不论您有何外观设计专利需求,我们都将凭借经验为您提供全程建议。

当您的业务遍及全球,外观设计权利的保护同样应该全球化。

我们在亚洲和欧洲设有办事处,另外,我们与世界各地200多家公司建立专业关系,由此帮助客户的产品设计获得国外保护,并帮助国际客户获得美国外观设计专利。我们具有为全球客户申请美国外观设计专利和注册欧洲外观设计权利的直接经验。此外,我们还协调20多个其他国家的专利申请,利用“海牙协定”等国际申请体系。同时,当您的国外权利受到威胁时,我们还有资源可以快速行动保护您的利益。

获得即时保护和救济

需要诉讼才能保护客户利益或应对竞争者的挑战时,我们的出庭辩护律师将随时准备采取行动。飞翰在涉及外观设计专利法各方面的案件中拥有几十起胜诉经验。外观设计专利案诉讼具有独特挑战性,例如通过与专家密切合作梳理权利证据以及整理调查证据。

外观设计专利只是知识产权的一块拼图

飞翰在知识产权法的各个领域,包括实用专利、商标、版权和商业秘密都具有丰富经验,能够制定互补战略,为您公司多条战线上的产品提供最好的保护。外观设计专利的申请和诉讼通常伴随着实用专利或商标,我们的律师利用在各个知识产权领域积累的几十年经验,集思广益,共同保护客户的利益。
