Features: "With the development of the times, design regulations play an important role in the design industry by protecting, promoting, and developing it. The macro design process defined by the International Council of Industrial Design Organizations (ICID) includes everything from concept to product formation, and then to engineering production and use. Similarly, the scope of design regulations is very broad, such as patent law, copyright law, trademark law, anti-unfair competition law, advertising law, technical contract law, construction engineering law, building law, etc. These regulations are mutually complementary and interconnected, serving as the prerequisite for successful design activities. Among them, design intellectual property rights regulations hold an extremely important position. Intellectual property rights refer to the exclusive rights that humans enjoy over intellectual achievements created in fields such as science, culture, and art. They play an increasingly important role in the knowledge economy and technological innovation. Modern design is essentially a knowledge-creative activity, with its design outcomes often taking the form of knowledge products and permeating into a wide range of fields such as technology and culture. Modern design and intellectual property rights have inherent consistency and a close relationship. The essence of design intellectual property rights is their protection and innovation. To strengthen the legal framework of design intellectual property rights, it is particularly necessary to enhance the protection and management levels of design intellectual property rights. In today's world where businesses compete on price, technology, and service, design regulations have shown an increasingly important role. For this reason, this book analyzes the requirements and regulations of China's design-related laws and regulations, elaborates on the connections between design regulations and copyright, patent rights, trademark rights, and engineering regulations, points out the special aspects in design regulations, and puts forward some insights, hoping to provide readers with references."
