How long does it take to apply for a patent for invention and utility model together? Is it better to apply separately or together?

Applying alone or together has no effect on the review time.

Practical review cycle: 7- 12 months (previously 5-8 months); Invention review period: 2-3 years.

As for why you should apply at the same time, because practicality can be authorized early, and you can use practicality to go to court in case of infringement, and the compensation can be doubled.

If it is difficult for others to infringe their rights before patent authorization, then only apply for utility model or invention, which is economical and practical.

In addition, the practical stability of the same technology is not worse than that of the invention, which is more attractive to the public and more conducive to the declaration of various projects.

Hope to adopt
