Utility models
Technical solutions relating to devices may be registered as both inventions and utility models. Unlike an invention, a utility model does not need to involve an inventive step: the patentability requirements are novelty and industrial applicability. A patent for a utility model is easier and faster to obtain. A PCT invention patent application can be converted to a national application for a utility model.
