Due to obvious traces of borrowing and imitation, many domestic motorcycle models have been declared invalid for appearance patents.

According to Lemon Locomotive reports, the State Intellectual Property Office recently issued multiple review decisions, including two products, 79bike from Xinghai Hi-Tech (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. and eriderpro from Ningbo EF Technology Development Co., Ltd.After Chongqing Qiulong Technology Co., Ltd. applied for review, the appearance patent was declared invalid.

The State Intellectual Property Office stated in the review decision: For large-volume products such as motorcycles, on the premise that they must have basic structures such as handlebars, bodywork, seats, and wheels, the shape, connection position relationship, and design style of each component form the overall style and visual impression of the entire vehicle.

This patent and the comparative design are designed on each component of the three-dimensional structure of the vehicle, such as the handlebar part, the front part, the body part, the seat part, the front and rear wheel parts, etc. The appearance, relative position relationship and proportion of each component are basically the same.

This is the source of the overall frame and style of the motorcycle. These similarities have made the two form a more consistent overall visual effect.The differences between the two have limited impact on the overall visual effect and do not constitute a significant impact. Therefore, there is no obvious difference between this patent and the comparative design.

It is reported that the models whose appearance patents were declared invalid this time are eriderpro and 79bike, and their prototypes are Qingfeng, an electric light off-road vehicle released by Qiulong in 2016.

The Qingfeng model is recognized as the world's most popular off-road vehicle. Because of its lightweight, flexible shape, high playability and off-road capabilities, the vehicle has been sold to more than 60 countries and regions around the world.

Because the sales volume is very impressive, the Qingfeng model has also attracted a lot of plagiarism.According to incomplete statistics, there are currently more than 30 companies producing imitation Qingfeng models.

This time, the State Intellectual Property Office declared the imitator's appearance patent invalid, which will also greatly enhance Qiulong Technology's ability to protect the property rights of Qingfeng models.
