The design process determines not only whether a product can be successfully developed but also the sequence of design tasks of designers as well as the resource inputs and design outputs of a company directly. Nonetheless, designers are often unaware of the importance of legal protection of design during the design process, and consequently, the infringement of the intellectual property of others is often unrealized until the mass production stage. In the study, the researchers used design process theory modeling and practical design processes to draw out a standard product design process and to determine the check points of intellectual property rights of design process orientation (DPO) and law object orientation (LOO). DPO, on the one hand, is design process based and allows companies to search for legal protection and suggestions according to a specific design process. LOO, on the other hand, is law object based and allows companies to quickly identify the required intellectual property laws and design knowledge protection suggestions.
