灵感源于Crocs, Bogg bag沙滩包美国侵权预警
Bogg bag
Vaccarella 受到 Crocs 凉鞋的可注射泡沫的启发,用相同的材料制作了一款沙滩包。事实上,她甚至向 Crocs 提出了这个想法,但遭到拒绝。Vaccarella 没有放弃,而是决定自己想办法。这还包括为该概念申请专利。
知识产权
商标
BOGG已经在美国注册了商标,包含18类箱包、25类服装鞋帽。
除此之外,品牌方还申请了以下图形商标,目前还未下证。
专利
发明人申请了2个外观专利,考虑到保护范围的局限,通过改变孔的形状或者是对外形进行变动即可进行规避,发明人同时又申请了两个发明专利,将可能涉及到变动归纳在其权利要求的保护范围之内。

A carrying case, comprising;a base section;a main body section defining an object-retaining compartment with said base section, said main body section having an annular portion defining opposed sides, first and second similarly-sized apertures formed only in said opposed sides of said main body section and not in said base section and a plurality of additional similarly-sized apertures formed only in said opposed sides of said main body section and not in said base section, said apertures being formed in a plurality of substantially straight rows and in a plurality of substantially straight columns on each of said opposed sides such that each of said rows includes at least two apertures and each of said columns includes at least two apertures;【手提箱,包括一个定义用于固定物体的固定隔间的主体,并且包括相对的侧面和每个侧面上的多个孔】
a pair of elongate straps, each of said straps having opposite first and second end regions and having a first state in which said strap is attached to said body at both first and second end regions and a second state in which said first and second end regions of said strap are detached from said body, each of said straps comprising:at least first, second and third apertures, regionssaid first aperture being proximate said first end of a respective one of said straps,said second aperture being proximate said second end of the respective one of said straps, andsaid third aperture being arranged between said first and second apertures; and【一对细长带,每个带子一共有三个孔,具有相反的末端区域和至少两个孔用于连接带子和主体,在这两个端点之间还有一个孔。】
snap fasteners arranged to removably attach each of said straps to a respective one of said first and second sides via aligning pairs of one of said apertures on the respective one of said opposed sides of said main body section and one of said apertures on said strap to thereby provide said strap with the first state,【手提箱包括按扣,这些扣件通过对齐的孔将带子固定在身体的侧面,即身体一侧的一个孔和一个带子上的孔可以对应固定在手提箱上。】
said snap fasteners having two parts separable from one another such that said straps are removable from engagement with said body to thereby provide said strap with the second state and positionable in different positions relative to said body to thereby provide a plurality of different configurations in which each of said straps is attached to the respective one of said opposed sides of said body,【按扣有两个部分彼此分离,这样带子就可以从与身体的接合中移除,并可相对于身体定位在不同的位置。】
whereby each of said straps is attachable to the respective one of said opposed sides of said body via any two of said first aperture, said second aperture and one of said additional apertures on said opposed side and any two of said first, second and third apertures on said strap.【这提供了带子与主体的可变连接,即表带上的孔可以任意连接到主体任何孔】
发明专利的规避可以通过减少部件数量或者从方法/功能/结果上对构成要件进行改变实现。从上述描述中,最简单的规避方案就是将一对带子改为一根带子。但是,在发明人同年同日申请的另一个发明专利US8312816B2中,将手提带条数有了新的描述——"至少一条带子,用于将物体耦合到所述至少一个卡扣",对关于带子数量规避漏洞进行了补足。这两个专利的权利要求描述特征非常相似,大家可以通过上述专利进行理解,这边将不再赘述。
从检索结果看,品牌方只在美国申请了专利,注意规避相关风险。其他地区想要售卖的话可以留意专利抢注的情况,万一不幸被投诉下架了链接,可以尝试申诉回来。
