Hello:
The Patent Office does not conduct substantive examination of utility model patent applications, but only conducts preliminary examination. In other words, it only examines whether the form is standardized, whether fees are paid, etc. As for It does not matter whether the application lacks novelty or inventive step.
However, although it is easy to obtain patent rights when applying for a utility model, if the application documents are not carefully written, it is easy to be invalidated by others after authorization. Therefore, it is best to be cautious when applying, and not because of It is the application for utility model that is lax.
Hope the answer is helpful to you.
