各国的外观设计的保护制度既有共性又有差异,差异之一是对申请文件有不同要求。例如,目前世界上很多国家都允许在申请文件中使用实线与虚线相结合的方式,实线表示保护的内容,虚线表示不保护的内容。中国则不允许在视图中使用虚、实线结合的表达方式。因此,对于视图中包含虚线的外观设计,在向中国申请外观设计专利权的过程中,必段作出适应性修改。本文针对视图中的虚线问题,分析中国与其他国家的不同之处,并对如何修改国外申请提出建议。是否允许使用虚线背后的原因其他国家允许在申请文件中使用实线与虚线相结合的方式说明要求保护的客体,而中国不允许这样的表达方式。这种 The protection system of designs in foreign countries is not only common but also different. One of the differences is that there are different requirements on the application documents. For example, many countries in the world now allow the use of a combination of solid lines and dashed lines in the application documents, solid lines indicate protected contents, and dotted lines indicate unprotected contents. China does not allow the use of virtual, solid combination of expressions in the view. Therefore, in the design that contains the dotted line in the view, it is necessary to make appropriate changes in applying for the design patent right to China. In this paper, we will analyze the differences between China and other countries in view of the dotted lines in the views and make suggestions on how to revise overseas applications. Whether to allow the use of the reason behind the dotted line Other countries allow the use of solid lines and dashed lines in the application document to explain the object of protection, and China does not allow such expressions.
