Research On The Design Protection Of GUI

With the further development of computer software technology and human-computer interaction technology,the representation of graphical user interfaces is constantly enriched,and is increasingly valued by market players.An excellent graphical user interface can not only enhance the user experience,but also enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise.In order to comply with the development trend in the field of graphical user interface design and better protect the innovative achievements of graphical user interface design,the State Intellectual Property Office officially implemented the new "Patent Examination Guide" on November 1,2019.The relevant content of the design has been standardized and improved.This article also takes this as an entry point and combines the"Qihu v.Jiangmin case" to reveal the current problems in the protection of graphical user interface designs in China,and puts forward suggestions for improving the protection of graphical user interface designs.This article is divided into four parts:The first part elaborates the basic definition,development process,main features and necessity of protection of the graphical user interface.The second part introduces the status of the protection of the design of the graphical user interface outside the domain,and summarizes the advanced experience outside the domain.The third part analyzes the newly revised contents of the "Patent Examination Guide" in 2019 and the "Qihu v.Jiangmin Case",and finally points out the current problems in the protection of the graphical user interface design in China.The fourth part puts forward suggestions to improve the design protection of the graphical user interface design.
