How long does it take to examine the utility model patent? Is it difficult to apply?

How long does it take to examine the utility model patent, and what changes have taken place? Compared with before, the examination of utility model patents is more rigorous, and the patentee needs to prepare for the patent examination and lay a solid foundation for the three characteristics of the patent. How long does it take to examine the utility model patent? It can be said that the application for utility model patent and appearance is the fastest. There are three kinds of patents in China. There is also a patented technology for the above two patents, but it takes a long time to examine them, usually taking 2-3 years, while the application for utility model patents and appearance patents is basically completed within one year, but the gold content of invention patents is relatively high. What are the new changes in the examination time of utility model patents? We can analyze the length of time from patent application to successful examination of utility model patents. After the application for a patent for utility model begins, the documents shall be submitted to the Intellectual Property Office. After the patent office accepts it, if there are no other problems with the patent information submitted by the patentee, the next patent examination can be carried out. Generally speaking, it only takes one or two days from application to acceptance, but it is mainly a matter of examination. Now the examination time of utility model patents has been extended. The substantive examination of utility model patents alone will take 7 or 8 months, so the time for waiting for special applications may be longer; However, extending the examination time of utility model patents is mainly to focus on creating some shortcomings of patents, strictly examining patent technology, and avoiding some junk patents taking advantage of loopholes. The utility model patent is easier to apply than the invention patent, but it does not mean that it is relatively easy to apply, so it is easier for the patentee to strengthen the research and innovation of his own patent, thus meeting the three characteristics of patent examination in essence; Of course, before applying for a patent, we also need to pay attention to whether the patent is repeated or not, so as to avoid the loss of human resources, logistics and financial resources.
