Utility model application<\/h1>\n

The difference between a patent and a utility model lies, among other things, in the speed and complexity of their acquisition. A utility model is typically registered within 2-3 months from the filing of the application in CZ<\/strong><\/span>, longer abroad. This allows you to start enforcing your rights more quickly.<\/p>\n

Protection provided by a well-drafted utility model<\/strong>, however, is no different from a patent. This is reflected in its costs as well.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

The Czech IPO does not examine the novelty or innovativeness of utility models, even though these are conditions for registering a utility model. Meeting these criteria, and thus the quality of protection afforded by a utility model, is solely your responsibility. To boost chances that your model withstands objections in the event of a dispute, we recommend conducting a thorough search<\/a> before drafting it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
