Utility model

Utility model

The procedure of filing application by non-resident to obtain a patent for utility model in Ukraine is not much different from the procedure of filing the application to obtain patent on invention.

In order to PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) there is a short procedure for filing and obtaining a patent for utility model at the international level (in the countries which has signed the Treaty). The procedure of the international application from the date of its filing and before a determination on the patentability of the claimed utility model is divided into two phases: the international and national.

National Phase - this is the second of the two main phases of the PCT procedure. It follows the international phase and includes the processing of the international application in each of the Patent Offices of the Contracting States which have been specified by the applicant, according to the procedure provided for by the legislation of the country of patenting.

Key thing to be considered for this item - is that a utility model, as an object of intellectual property that does not exist in all countries.

Ukraine is one of the countries where legislation provides protection of the utility model as the object of intellectual property. Moreover here in Ukraine, this object is highly demanded and very popular.
