What is Utility Model protection and does India offer utility model protection?
FollowUtility Model
- As compared to patents, the requirements of obtaining a utility model differ. To obtain patent protection, patents are required to satisfy both novelty and non-obviousness requirements of patentability among other requirements. Utility models are supposed to satisfy the novelty requirement and the non-obviousness requirement for utility model is low or absent.
- The term of protection for utility model is usually between 7 to 10 years, based on the jurisdiction.
- In most jurisdictions offering utility model protection, the applications are not examined prior to registration. This significantly reduces the duration required for registration.
- As compared to patents, utility models are cheaper to obtain and maintain.
- In some jurisdictions, utility model protection can only be obtained for certain fields of technology and only for products but not for processes.
Primarily, utility model protection may be sought under the following circumstances:
- For inventions that do not reach the same level of inventiveness, which is required for patent protection.
- For inventions that require faster registration.
- For innovations which are of incremental nature and do not meet all the requirements of patentability.
- When the life cycle of the invention is short and/or if, the profits are not able to cover patenting costs.
- For minor improvements and adaptations of existing products.
- The innovation is tangible and/or mechanical in nature.
