What is the detailed process of utility model patent?

1, novelty search, to ensure that the technology is brand-new. 2. Write application documents, including instructions, claims, drawings and summaries of instructions, etc. 3. Submit the application through electronic application or paper application. 4. After the patent is accepted, the Patent Office issues a notice of patent acceptance and a notice of payment, which shall be paid within the specified time. 5. During the preliminary examination, the patent office examiner searches and examines the application, and issues a notice of examination opinions, sometimes without notice, and the examination is directly authorized. 6. Closing the case: it is divided into authorization, rejection or deemed withdrawal. & gt 1. Matters needing attention in applying for 1 utility model patent. Definition of utility model patent. Utility model refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products. The structure, shape or combination of structure and shape of any product shall apply for a patent for utility model. The shape of a product refers to the definite spatial shape that the product has and can be observed from the outside. The structure of a product refers to the arrangement, organization and interrelation of various components of the product. The product structure can be either a mechanical structure or a circuit structure. 2, the term of protection of utility model patents. The term of protection is 10 year, counting from the date of application, and patent legal protection will no longer be provided after the expiration. 3. The difference between utility model patent and invention patent. First, the utility model is limited to products with a certain shape, and cannot be a method or product without a fixed shape; Second, the creative requirement of utility model is lower than that of invention, which was originally called gizmo, but it is more practical. 4. Authorization time of utility model patent application. According to the current approval progress of China Patent Office, it usually takes one year, and if it is fast, it will take 10 month. Second, how to judge the creativity of the utility model According to the patent law of our country, the creativity of the utility model means that compared with the existing technology before the filing date, the utility model has substantive characteristics and progress. It can be seen that the "outstanding" and "remarkable" of invention and creation are the creative differences between invention and utility model. To obtain a patent right, an invention or utility model must be creative. According to the provisions of the patent law, the creativity of an invention must meet the following two conditions: 1, which has outstanding substantive characteristics compared with the existing technology before the filing date; 2. Compared with the prior art before the filing date, it has made remarkable progress. Obviously, compared with the prior art before the filing date, this is the time standard for judging novelty. However, a novel invention is not necessarily creative. Because creativity focuses on judging the technical level, the range of existing technology determined by judging creativity is narrower than that determined by judging novelty. Outstanding substantive features mean that there are obvious essential differences between inventions and existing technologies. That is to say, the invention is not an ordinary technical field, and technicians can directly draw all necessary technical features that constitute the invention from the prior art.. Remarkable progress means that the invention has made great progress compared with the nearest prior art. This progress is as follows: the invention overcomes the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art; Or in the new technological trend represented by invention and creation; Or reflected in the excellent or unexpected effects of the present invention.
