<IP High Court> 2018 (Gyo-Ke) 10009(May 30, 2018) “Bolt Cover for a Hollow Steel Pipe Member,” Case

June 25,2021

Easiness to create the design

(Conclusion) The registered design was easy to create based on prior arts. (Design right owner lost.)

  

              

The shape of the end of the Prior art 1 is formed arbitrarily so as to mate with the opposite parts (the locking rib of the fixing plate).

Therfore, a person skilled in the art in the field of building parts easily change the shape of the end of the Prior art 1 by applying the shape of the end of the Prior art 2 to make the front view hat-shaped and the plan view horizontally rectangular plate-shaped so as to mate with the opposite parts (the locking rib of the fixing plate).
