Evaluate whether your invention meets CNIPA’s standards for novelty, practical utility, and industrial applicability.
Prepare a detailed utility model application, including claims, description, abstract, and necessary drawings.
Submit the application to CNIPA through an authorized patent attorney or via the official CNIPA system.
CNIPA reviews the application for formal compliance. Utility patents in China skip substantive examination.
If accepted, the utility patent is granted and published in the official gazette, providing protection from the filing date.
The official utility model patent certificate is issued by CNIPA, granting rights typically for 10 years from filing date.
Maintain patent validity by paying yearly maintenance fees. Failure to pay leads to expiration of rights.
A Utility Patent in China protects new technical solutions relating to the shape or structure of a product, offering faster and cost-effective protection.
Typically, the CNIPA grants utility model patents within 6 to 12 months as no substantive examination is required — ideal for rapidly evolving products or markets.

China is one of the largest markets in the world for innovation and product manufacturing. Registering a utility patent (also called a utility model patent) in China offers protection for new technical solutions related to the shape or structure of a product. It’s an ideal option for incremental inventions with shorter commercialization cycles. We help clients navigate the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) system to register their utility models smoothly and efficiently.

In New Zealand, patent protection is available for novel, useful, and inventive inventions through the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ). Unlike some jurisdictions, New Zealand does not offer a separate "utility model" or "innovation patent"; instead, all inventions are protected under a standard patent. Registering a patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, sell, or license the invention for up to 20 years, helping protect competitive advantage and encourage innovation. We assist local and international clients with filing, prosecution, and enforcement of patents in New Zealand.
