Did you know that your invention is probably protected as a utility model, and not as a patent? Today Patricia from La Fábrica de Inventos answers a question that inventors often have:
what is the difference between patent and utility model?
There are different differences, but we are going to review first the technical differences and then the economic differences that exist.
As for the technical differences, what a patent protects is a totally new invention, i.e. the first pen that was invented was a patent because nothing existed.
However, colored pens, multi-lead pens, as they were based on this pen, were protected as a utility model.
Why?
Because we were giving it a new utility, we were improving something that already existed. Then another difference that exists is the issue of the years of protection.
A patent offers a 20-year protection, while a utility model offers a 10-year protection.
What they have in common in this case is that both offer an international priority during the first year.
As for the economic difference, it is also important and is that the patent has a cost of around 3000 € and the utility model has a much lower cost, we would be talking about 1000 € approximately.
It should be taken into account, we usually advise to start with a utility model.
We hope we have solved your doubts.
