What’s the difference between a utility model patent and a design patent?

A utility model patent protects how an invention works, including shape, structure, or combination. A design patent protects how a product looks, including shape, pattern, color, or combination.

After being granted the patent right, the patent owner shall pay the patent fee to the Government every year during the patent term. If the owner doesn’t pay the Government fee on time, it shall be deemed as abandoning the patent.

Highly recommend!

I am very pleased to have chosen GWBMA, and they file my GUI with CNIPA. It started with a brief conversation with Mr. Mao. He advised me on how best to proceed, I paid the fee, and my paperwork was ready to go within just a few days. He was very thorough and communicative throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!
