First of all, it is clear that both ordinary patents and utility model patents are patents and enjoy equal rights. In fact, there is no difference in the world, but our country has stipulated some feasible technical schemes in order to promote economic development. Therefore, in terms of technology, the threshold of utility model patent is much lower, but the premise of this kind of patent application must be practical, that is to say, no matter how advanced your theory or technology is, you can't apply for this kind of patent without specific operation scheme and implementation method. Why does the country advocate this kind of invention? This is because China's economy is still in a period of development. In order to encourage everyone's creativity and improve production, this policy is introduced for some novel inventions with practical effects. This is mainly because the patent application process is long, complicated and strict, and if it is approved, it will often miss the opportunity. However, utility model patents are different. It can be authorized to the inventor first, and then reviewed in the later continuous production activities, thus avoiding delaying the market and opportunities due to too long and strict review time.
Of course, whether it is a patent or a utility model patent application, it is quite complicated for many enterprises. So the general practice is to find an agent for the intellectual property platform. In this process, only the patent applicant needs to provide information, pay the fee, and leave the rest to the platform. This kind of agency actually caters to the working concept of fine division of labor in society now, so that enterprises can concentrate on developing the economy. As for the process and cost of patent application, it has been introduced in detail before, so I won't go into details here.
In addition, I would like to remind that as an enterprise, it is a good thing for the state to introduce relevant policies, and what enterprises need to do is to comply with national policies, which can not only stimulate the creativity of employees, but also obtain economic benefits such as tax reduction.
