With the development and maturity of technology, intelligence has gradually penetrated into all aspects of life, and smart homes are becoming more and more popular. According to data forecasts, the global smart home market revenue will reach US$79.17 billion in 2022, and the market size is expected to reach US$537.01 billion by 2023, an astonishing growth rate.

As one of the markets with the highest penetration rate, the United States continues to sell well for smart home products. It is reported that in 2022, Black Friday will promote the sales of many smart home brands, and the sales of some sellers will exceed 27 million U.S. dollars. It is so hot that Amazon has also entered the market. In 2014, it launched the smart speaker Echo. Last year, it spent 1.7 billion US dollars to acquire iRobot, the leading sweeping robot company.

The opportunity has come, how to seize it? The product is the key, and the infringement issue cannot be ignored. The investigation found that many smart home products have applied for U.S. appearance patents. If the products sold are highly similar to them, there will be a very high risk of infringement. At least the listing will be removed from the shelves, and at worst, the store sales authority will be removed.
