Is the utility model patent useful after all? For universities, schools and future work, such as postgraduate entrance examination and re-examination.

Whether it is useful or not depends on the purpose of your patent application and the degree of innovation, because the examination system of utility models is registration system, and authorized utility models may not be patentable. Without novelty and creativity, utility model patents can easily be declared invalid even if there is a patent certificate, so it is useless to rely on this patent to fight infringement lawsuits. However, it is useful for some departments to have a certain number of patents in terms of professional titles, further studies, reporting topics, and evaluating high-tech enterprises.
