"Four Sea Furniture sued Shenzhen Hao × Dajia private factory for alleged infringement plagiarism" case, the dust settled a few days ago. Shenzhen Hao X Dajia Private Factory was convicted of infringement and compensated Sihai Company for 125,000 yuan and was required to stop manufacturing and selling infringing products. Although the ruling may not completely eliminate plagiarism, at least it will give an alarm to the furniture manufacturers who focus on plagiarism: the infringement is risky, and plagiarism must be cautious!
As a major province of furniture production, “plagiarism†is a problem that is ubiquitous and difficult to solve. For a long time, domestic furniture manufacturers have been unable to jump out of such a strange circle, that is, large manufacturers plagiarize and counterfeit new designs of foreign manufacturers by participating in international furniture fairs, and small furniture manufacturers plagiarize domestic large manufacturers. Furniture design to develop and survive. The plagiarists traveled to various brand furniture stores and did not miss the opportunity to visit each major exhibition. This intensified plagiarism has not been effectively curbed, resulting in no one in the furniture industry is willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to engage in original design, the innovation of furniture design has been severely suppressed.
"The infringer paid a price of 125,000 yuan. The figure does not seem small, but it is actually the price of a set of high-end living room furniture, but the infringed party has paid a two-year time cost. The principle of comparison is actually not a victory in the strict sense." Insiders commented that although the result of such a judgment has no special warning effect on the plagiarism of the furniture industry, at least it shows the self-protection consciousness of original furniture brands. Has begun to wake up. Therefore, it can be said that this judgment has sounded the clarion call for intellectual property protection of furniture design.
However, the awakening of self-protection awareness does not mean that the protection of original design can be implemented. According to China's intellectual property legal system, furniture design can be protected by applying for patents of appearance. The acquisition of patent rights generally takes about one year, but furniture is a product that is updated quickly. If it is designed, it will not be put on the market as soon as possible, even if it is patented, it will be difficult to obtain market benefits, resulting in the furniture industry. Few people are willing to declare the patent for appearance. Therefore, if you want to protect the original design from the legal level, you must first go out of the legislative blind spot and systematically study the protection of furniture intellectual property rights in order to achieve comprehensive protection of furniture intellectual property rights. In addition, due to the lack of furniture design talents in the Pearl River Delta, it is also a top priority to intensify the training of the original designers of the new generation of furniture to fertilize the original design of the soil.
