Utility Models

Protecting practical improvements with real value

Utility models protect an object or product whose configuration, structure or composition provides a practical advantage in its use or manufacture.

Although they are often considered less complex or inventive than patents, utility models can give the applicant an exclusive right over the invention that can be effectively enforced against third parties in the market.

How we work

A clear process to protect every project

Initial assessment

We review each case individually to understand the creation, its scope and the client's specific needs before defining the best form of protection.
Protection strategy

We design a strategy for each project, selecting the most suitable route for a patent, trademark, industrial design, copyright or international protection.
Filing and management

We prepare, file and manage the application, monitor the procedure and respond to requirements from the relevant offices.
Monitoring and support

We keep the client informed throughout the process with close, transparent and professional support through resolution and any later stages.
