Can computer program technology apply for utility model patent?

Paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the Patent Law stipulates that utility model refers to a new technical scheme that is suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products.

If the patent examination guide explains this article, if the claim contains both the shape and structural features and the improvement of the method itself, it does not belong to the object of patent protection for utility models, and the technical features defined by computer programs are classified as one of the methods.

Visible, involving computer program technology, as long as the technical improvement does not include the improvement of the method, it is not impossible to apply for a patent for utility model.
