Is the utility model patent co-authored by many people?
A patent for utility model refers to a novel technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products. According to the patent law of our country, a utility model patent can be applied by many people at the same time and can be listed as the patentee as a co-author. Co-authors shall handle the application for a patent for utility model and the distribution of rights and interests in accordance with the agreement of two or more parties, which may include specific matters such as the method of patent application and the distribution of rights and interests. However, it should be noted that co-authors must apply together when applying for utility model patents, and their identity and rights as co-authors should be reflected in the patent application documents. At the same time, the rights and interests of co-authors shall be distributed according to the principle of duty inventors and non-duty inventors as stipulated in the Patent Law. If you are in doubt about the distribution of specific utility model patent rights and interests, I suggest you consult a professional intellectual property lawyer for specific advice.
