There is also a temporary protection period from application to patent right. , but the exercise of power is also after obtaining the patent right. Good technology must apply for patent protection, so as to better protect its own interests.
In addition, because the utility model does not pass the substantive examination, it can obtain the patent right more quickly, as soon as one year.
As you are an individual, I suggest you consult an agency, because the writing of claims and specifications is very important for the authorization and protection of patents.
