Patents are a form of intellectual property protection granted by the government to inventors for new inventions or processes. In the case of Kaloud®, their products such as the Lotus® I+ and Lotus® II have been granted patents in various countries including the US, China, Hong Kong, and European countries. These patents give Kaloud® exclusive rights to make, use, and sell their innovative products for a certain period of time.
Overview of Utility Models
Utility models are similar to patents but provide protection for incremental improvements to existing products or processes. The Kaloud® Krysalis®, for example, has been granted utility model protection in the US, China, and other countries. This form of intellectual property protection allows Kaloud® to safeguard their unique design features and functionalities from imitators or competitors.
The Importance of Registered Designs
Registered designs protect the visual appearance or aesthetics of a product. The Kaloud® Samsaris® and Vestara® have both been granted design rights in various countries. These registered designs ensure that the distinctive look and feel of these products are legally protected, preventing others from copying or reproducing their unique design elements without permission.
