Can you write method features in the application for patent for utility model?

First of all, let's look at how the patent law and the patent examination guide are stipulated. Paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the Patent Law stipulates that "utility model" refers to a new technical scheme suitable for practical use for the shape, structure or combination of products. According to this regulation, utility model patents only protect products. All methods and natural objects that have not been artificially manufactured do not belong to the object of patent protection for utility models. Products should be entities manufactured by industrial methods, with definite shape and structure, and occupy a certain space.

Part 6. 1 in Chapter 2 of Part I of the Patent Examination Guide stipulates that the name of a known method can be used to define the shape and structure of the product in the claim (patent for utility model), but the steps and technical conditions of the method shall not be included. For example, the connection relationship of components can be defined by the names of known methods such as welding and riveting, without including the improvement of the method itself.

It is not difficult to see from the above provisions that the application for a patent for utility model can of course write the method characteristics, which is legal.
