Can I apply for a patent for utility model after the patent is rejected?

Hello, the answers to the above questions are as follows: If the application for a patent for utility model or design is rejected after preliminary examination, the patent administration department will make a decision to grant the patent right for utility model or design, issue the corresponding patent certificate, and register and announce it at the same time. The patent right for utility model and the patent right for design shall take effect as of the date of announcement. Therefore, the examination procedures of utility model patents in China are acceptance, preliminary examination, authorization, registration and announcement. China's patent examination system for utility models implements a preliminary examination and registration system. After accepting an application for a patent for utility model, the patent administration department only conducts a formal examination to see whether there are any necessary documents determined by law and whether the writing of the file format is correct and standardized. If no reason for rejection can be found, the patent right shall be granted and registered. According to national regulations, utility model patents and appearance patents do not need substantive examination, nor do they need to pay substantive examination fees, so the application for a patent for invention is subject to substantive examination fees.
