Rejection of utility model patent

First, the examination of an invention application has to go through two stages: preliminary examination and substantive examination, while the examination of a utility model application has only one stage, so it is more strict than the preliminary examination of an invention application.

Second, the words in the picture are actually just the rhetoric of the patent office's review opinions, and do not represent the final conclusion. Many applications can eventually be authorized by modification.

Third, if necessary, the application for utility model can be reviewed within the prescribed time limit (see the decision of rejection), but the success of the review depends on the specific circumstances of the application documents, and it is not good to generalize.
