The utility model patent is too long overdue. Can it be recovered now?
Can't recover. Time is too long. If you don't pay the annual fee, there will be a half-year overdue period and a two-month recovery period, which cannot be recovered after the deadline. If you want to reapply for a patent, you can't authorize it, because the previous patent has been made public and has become the existing technology, and reapplying is not novel. For the content that is not very important, you only need a certificate, and you can entrust a better patent agency to make a utility model patent, which is cheaper and the utility model authorization rate is still relatively high.
