Patents and utility models

Patents and utility models are technical protective rights. Patents are granted by the Patent Office for technical innovations. It gives its owner a monopoly right and provides him a marketing advantage and he is fully protected from copying. The utility model is also a technical protective right; it is often called a 'small Patent'. Usually the utility model is granted by the Patent Office without further investigation, the disadvantage being that it is less protected than the patent.
