How long will the utility model be patented?

According to the provisions of China's patent law, the term of the invention patent right is 20 years, and the term of the utility model patent right and the design patent right is 10 years, all of which are counted from the date of application. Therefore, the legal protection of utility model patents is not indefinite, and the protection period of utility model patents is 10 years, counting from the date of application. The protection period of utility model is the basis of protecting utility model patent. Only within the protection period, the utility model can be protected by law, but the scope of protection of utility model is the key to confirm whether the utility model patent is infringing, and the determination of the scope of utility model patent is a relatively patent and complicated issue. So I suggest you consult a professional patent lawyer to prevent losses and patent disputes. According to the regulations, the longest term of the patent right for a specific utility model is 10 year.
