Is there a difference between design and utility model protection?

A design patent refers to a new design that is aesthetically pleasing and suitable for industrial application for the shape, pattern, color or combination of products. Design refers to the design of industrial products, which is the style of industrial products.

The patent for utility model, also called small invention or small patent, is the object of patent right and the object of patent law protection, and refers to the utility model that should be granted patent right according to law. Utility model usually refers to a new practical technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products.

The two concepts are different, so are the guarantees.
