What is a Patent?

A patent is an exclusive right to a product or a process that generally gives a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem.

What is a Utility Model?

A utility model is similar to a patent in that it provides a monopoly right for an invention. However, utility models are much cheaper to obtain, the requirements for grant of a utility model are less stringent and the term of protection is shorter.
