Why did Zotye "imitate" Porsche for so long, but nothing happened?

Today, with the vigorous development of domestic cars, people will no longer feel that they are not up to standard and the quality is extremely poor when they mention domestic brands. However, there are still car companies, and everyone will still mention it with a meaningful smile. Zotye and landwind are the key targets.

Everyone knows how the stems of "Bao Shitai" and "Landwind" came from, because Zotye and Landwind have several models, which are similar to the naked eye even from the perspective of ordinary people and non-professional designers, but after such a long time, these car companies are still alive and well, and they can buy many "similar models", which makes people wonder. Will they not be copied by the original car companies? Why is everything all right now?

In fact, Landwind X7 was once ruled that the design patent rights were all invalid because it resembled Land Rover Aurora. Sounds like you got punished, doesn't it? But then, Land Rover Aurora was also ruled that the patent was invalid. The reason is that their own two-door model copied the four-door model. Simply put, it is "copying yourself and making your patent invalid"!

It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Some people think that Landwind has a discount because it is a domestic car. Bian Xiao briefly talked about the key points here. In fact, it is because the relevant patent information should have been submitted six months ago when Aurora was released, but Land Rover delayed submitting it for almost a year, which led to the irregularity of its patent application and gave others loopholes in the future. It's hard to say whether Landwind is too lucky or Land Rover is too unlucky. However, we can see that it is really troublesome to judge the automobile appearance patent from application to plagiarism.

The above situation is only under the premise of "judging the similarity of cars". If I copy the appearance of a car, but slightly change the data and shape, I will copy it without letting go, and it will be difficult for my accuser to win the case. I can also "imitate" more brazenly.

Moreover, luxury car companies such as Porsche, which is positioned in the high-end market, have little competition and no conflict compared with Zotye, which is positioned as an ordinary family car. If you are lucky, people will be too lazy to sue and feel at ease. At the beginning, Shuanghuan "imitated" CRV, because the positioning of the car was competitive in the market, wasn't it chased by Honda again and again?

However, not all luxury car companies are as lazy as Porsche. The above-mentioned double-ring car companies "reorganize" BMW, and BMW has no choice. In order to protect local brands, Germany decided that they could not list cars in Germany. Later, this car company finally came to an end because it was too blatant. Therefore, the future is still long. Zotye now has a strong sense of originality in many models. If it is reckless, who knows what Porsche will do in the future?
