What is a utility model? In a word, it's a "slight invention."
The subject of protection under the Utility Model Act is "inventions related to structures or combinations"!
In addition to the Patent Law, there is a law called the Utility Model Law within the intellectual property rights law. This Utility Model Law does not provide a definition of "utility model" similar to that of patents, and it is unclear whether the term "utility model" generally refers to an invention, an invention that has been registered as a utility model, or the utility model rights themselves. The purpose of this law is to encourage inventions related to the shape, structure, or combination of goods by protecting and utilizing those inventions, thereby contributing to the development of industry (Article 1 of the Utility Model Law). *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
