The popular stress-relieving watch strap caused infringement, was it caused by the rat extermination pioneer?

Recently, Rat Extermination Pioneer has started to cause a lot of cases, and a large number of sellers have been sued and their accounts have been frozen. I believe that all sellers have known about the infringement cases of Rat Extermination Pioneer for a long time, but some sellers are still violating the law and still selling such products in large quantities.

It is reported that the Rat Killer Pioneer series of products have registered graphic trademarks abroad, that is, the two basic round and square styles have been registered as trademarks. Therefore, as long as the products sold contain the basic round and square styles, it will cause infringement. According to the protection of intellectual property rights abroad, there is almost no possibility of passing the appeal.

Therefore, the risk of infringement is extremely high and the danger is also great. However, some sellers have taken a different approach and transferred the bubble pressing design principle of Rat Killer Pioneer to other products by avoiding graphic infringement, thus creating popular products such as decompression watch straps and decompression gyroscopes.

The decompression strap is shaped like a watch. By pressing the bubble protrusions on the surface, it can relax your emotions and release stress. It is also easy to carry with you, so it is loved by many consumers.

At present, the sales of products such as decompression straps are good, and more than 70% of them have 5-star reviews. After searching, the editor found that there are many sellers selling them on the Amazon platform, and most of them are Chinese sellers.

Although this product has good sales, its principle is still based on the Rat Killer, and it is still a push-type bubble design. Therefore, it is conceivable that its infringement risk is still very high. If the patent holder of Rat Killer files a case again and investigates these products in depth, these sellers may not be able to escape this difficulty.

In addition, there are still other infringement risks for products such as decompression straps. After searching, the editor found that decompression straps and other products may have been registered for patents. It is reported that a Spaniard named ESPAÑA has registered various patents for decompression straps, decompression gyroscopes and other products this year.

Relevant data shows that many Chinese sellers on the Amazon platform design their own patterns for products such as decompression straps. However, if they do not register patents, they may still be sued for infringement. In short, decompression toys similar to the Rat Killer will always have the risk of infringement. What sellers can do is to innovate and register their own patents.
