Hello, lawyer Liu, I am applying for a patent for utility model, but in the example of official website's instruction, it is said that "a utility model should have only one independent claim." So when I fill in the application, the following claim amount can only be written as "1"?
An application can have multiple independent claims.
For independent claims and dependent claims in an application, the total number of all claims should be filled in when filling in the request, not just the number of independent claims.
