There is no doubt that our home life is evolving towards intelligent, scenario-based experience, the application of smart home will bring great convenience and comfort to our future home life.

But under the wind, smart home can not always empty concept, home enterprises in the industry layout, not just to "catch up with the trend", more should think about the production of products and services is not really "understand" people, the incompatibility between products, the standard Not uniform, the scene can not achieve interconnection ...... these are unacceptable to consumers, perhaps "smart home" has not really landed, which requires the continuous efforts of the whole industry to help us achieve a real smart home life.

According to the recent, Shangpin home with Luberon bathroom, Shangpin home with kitchen and bathroom, Ding Pule electrical and other infringement of trademark rights and unfair competition disputes, such as the case came to the New York Provincial High People's Court of final judgment, Shangpin home with 5 million yuan compensation.

In the new paradigm of home furnishing, the cost of infringement is too low, the process of defending rights is difficult is the main reason for the more prominent phenomenon of patent infringement in the field of furniture.

First of all, the high cost of original design research and development and the low cost of plagiarism lead home furnishing enterprises to be more willing to "sit back and enjoy" the plagiarism. Compared with the original research and development of enterprises in the market, research and development of new products and other high costs, as well as the development of a number of products may not be a piece of the high cost of trial and error, the cost of infringement of copycat enterprises is very low, the performance of sales of counterfeit products is also sufficient to underwrite the final compensation and ordered to stop and other results, but the original enterprise suffered brand trauma can not be compensated. In the long run, the bad money to expel the good money, a serious blow to the original and R & D enthusiasm, the level of the industry is also very difficult to raise again.

Secondly, the home furnishing industry is difficult to protect the rights of its industry peculiarities, on the one hand, the product concept to the product launch itself has a cycle, the appearance of the patent application to be approved and more than a year, even if the product design immediately apply, wait until the approved production has missed the golden moment to seize the market opportunity, "cottage" products have long been a step ahead; on the other hand, the Home industry R & D design costs are high, professional designers are in short supply, "big industry, small business" market pattern, most companies can not afford this cost.

Moreover, intellectual property rights, patent cases take a long time to hear, the right to defend the enterprise simply can not afford to spend. Because even if the lawsuit is won, the right to defend the product may have lagged behind the market product concept. Some data show that the average trial time of "furniture" tired infringement cases is 127 days, and the trial time of more than six months and a year accounts for 20.88% of the cases.

Finally, the current legal system of intellectual property protection in the field of home furnishing is relatively weak. Whether it is defined as design patent infringement from the same or substantially the same product shape, structure, pattern, color, etc., or defined as "architectural works" in copyright from furniture products or design drawings, it is more or less controversial.

Take "impersonation of trademark" as an example, according to the "Trademark General Illegal Judgment Standard" Article 23 lists seven kinds of impersonation of trademark, such as changing the distinctive features of the registered trademark, using the registered trademark in combination without labeling one by one. If there are home furnishing enterprises after the gourd drawing ladybirds, then fine-tuning, major adjustment, and finally resembles the shape is not similar, the sufferer can not sue.

In this regard, the only way for enterprises to improve patent awareness, timely patent application, and in-depth and perfect patent layout, "fence" patent mining and layout in advance, in the core technology to form a full range of multi-level patent protection, combined with the current state of industrial development and market prospects expected to expand the scope of application of patents. Of course, enterprises should also make full use of patent resources to make intellectual property rights become "real money" for enterprises.
