For example, applying for 1 utility model patent requires 1305 yuan, and applying for 1 invention patent requires 4605 yuan, and the cost will not be reduced until the patent certificate is obtained. The difference is still quite big.
But the later returns are also directly proportional to the cost. In general, the reward amount of invention patents is at least twice that of utility model patents.
General utility model patents can get patent certificates in about 6 months, and invention patents can get patent certificates in about 1 year and a half.
Because the technical fields of invention patents are wider, the review cycle of different technical fields is quite different, and some technical fields may take 2-3 years or even longer.
Tips: At present, it is more and more strict for nurses to apply for utility model patents. It is recommended to seize the opportunity and apply as soon as possible!
