Differences between a Utility Model and a Patent<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After almost a decade designing and manufacturing functional prototypes, working side by side with more than 300 inventors and innovation departments of large corporations, we have summarized in 4 basic questions, the main differences between Utility Models and Patents. Unfortunately, as we have already described in our Council for Inventors \"The Utility Model. The false adrenaline of the Inventors The Utility Model. The false adrenaline of the Inventors\" are evidenced the main motivations for not talking clearly enough about these differences between the Utility Model and Patents. Go for it!<\/p>

What is a Utility Model and what is a Patent?<\/b><\/h2>

\u00a0<\/p>

According to the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, \"The utility mode protects inventions with less inventive range than those protected by Patents, consisting, for example, in giving an object a configuration or structure from which some utility or practical advantage is derived.\" With this manufacturing method, we can protect in a concrete way, mechanical changes or in a way that represents an improvement in the use of existing products or tools. Unlike a patent, with utility mode, you do not protect yourself from other companies or inventors marketing the base product, or applying new inventions on it. Exclusively, you are protecting the improvements you claim on the product already on the market.<\/p>

In the case of Patents \"... is a right granted by the State (or a relevant authority) to an inventor, so that he alone is authorized to exploit and profit from his inventions for a limited period of time.\" As you have read, the patent represents the only method of legal protection that places the inventor as the exclusive owner of the invention and therefore the sole beneficiary of any profit generated from the invention.<\/p>

Who and how is a Utility Model and a Patent granted?<\/b><\/h2>

\u00a0<\/p>

It is no coincidence that, in the concept of Patent, reference is made to the fact that \"... it is a right granted by the State...\" and in the case of the Utility Model, it is not mentioned, despite the fact that in both cases the title is delivered by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office. What's the catch?<\/p>

In the case of Patents, there is a rigorous analysis of the state of the art, it is the State itself that is responsible for determining the level of actual invention in our proposal. In the same way, it is the State, through the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office, who is responsible for studying the antecedents that may exist in the world about our invention and from its analysis, determine whether to grant the Patent or not.<\/p>

On the other hand, the process of granting a Utility Model does not have the same level of State involvement, since its approval depends on the possible objections that other inventors may present. Unlike the case of Patents, the Utility Model is published in the BOE and, if in 2 months nobody has made a complaint, they will grant you the title of utility mode without major complications.<\/p>

Utility Model on this same invention and nobody complains in 60 days, We will get the title. Of course, this does not guarantee that we are not stepping on an existing Patent or that it really does not dilute most of the risks that surely, as an inventor, take away your sleep.\u00a0<\/p>
