# Check Design Rights

### 1. Check for Similar Designs

First, check whether there are existing products similar to the generated image.

* Google Image Search\
  <https://www.google.com/imghp>
* TinEye\
  <https://tineye.com/>

👉 Checkpoints

* Whether identical or similar products are already being sold
* Whether it evokes a specific brand product
* Whether the print, pattern, or graphic is similar

***

### 2. Check Trademarks and Brands

If a logo, brand name, or symbol is included, be sure to check whether it is trademarked.

* U.S. Trademark Search (USPTO)\
  [https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search](https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/search?utm_source=chatgpt.com)
* Global Trademark Search (WIPO)\

  [https://www.kipris.or.kr/](https://www.kipris.or.kr/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)

👉 Items to Check

* Logo, brand name
* Monogram, repeating symbol
* Signature pattern or brand-associative element

### 3. Check Registered Designs

If the product's appearance, structure, or pattern is key, check whether it is similar to a registered design.

* U.S. Patent Search (USPTO)\

👉 Cases that especially require checking
