What is the utility model patent certificate?

One of the conditions for evaluating professional titles is called technological innovation, which is a patent. Now patent is an indispensable condition in most professional title evaluation conditions. Patents can improve the probability of professional title evaluation. According to different regions and units, the bonus points of patents are also different. There are three kinds of patent applications in China: invention, utility model and design. Invention patents are more difficult, besides product patents, they can also be method patents, while utility models (only product patents) and design patents are relatively easy to apply for. The utility model, commonly known as gizmo, refers to the improvement of tangible products. It should be noted that only when designing the shape, structure or combination of products can you apply for a patent for utility model. If it is about technology, formula and other technical solutions, it still belongs to the category of invention. At present, the authorization rate of invention patents in China is low and the patent examination period is long. General invention patents are granted for 1 ~ 3 years. Compared with invention patents, the authorization time of utility model and design patents is generally 4~6 months. The authorization period is short and the authorization rate is high. In the evaluation of professional titles, the examination of patent applications has been added. Having a patent can add points to the title. In order to stimulate the innovation vitality of inventors and designers, patent applications have been incorporated into the title evaluation system of most enterprises and institutions, further stimulating the independent innovation vitality of universities, scientific research institutions and cultural institutions, and making them truly become scientific and technological innovation achievements.
