# Legal considerations on the reproduction and sale of design patented products I understand that what you are asking about is the "loophole" in the protection of design patents. I need to make it clear that trying to circumvent intellectual property protection is usually not a wise or legal business strategy： ## Legal Risk Warning * Intentional infringement of other people's design patent rights may lead to serious legal consequences, including but not limited to: -Huge compensation -Prohibition to stop infringement -Loss of reputation -Criminal liability ## Legal business channels If you are interested in a certain design, it is recommended to consider the following legal methods： 1. **Obtain a license**-Negotiate an authorization agreement with the patentee 2. **Create original designs**-develop truly innovative and non-infringing alternative designs 3. ** Research patent term**-Design patents have a time limit and enter the public domain after expiration 4. ** Design innovation**-create a sufficiently differentiated design to avoid infringement I suggest that any business behavior should respect intellectual property rights and consult a professional intellectual property lawyer when in doubt.
