The
utility model patent (UMP) is a category of patent granted in China. It
is meant to protect incremental inventions, demands a comparatively
lower level of inventive
step than those of invention patents, and generally takes less time
from filing to grant. Compared to many foreign companies, however, U.S.
companies do not often file UMPs in China.
For
this two-hour webinar, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Office of
Policy and International Affairs has brought together a group of five
experienced private
practitioners and in-house counsel to offer their expertise and
practical insights on UMPs and how U.S. companies can best utilize them
when doing business in China.
