CAS STNext® Coffee Lecture Utility models: Significant but often neglected
Presented inEnglish
Registration is closed. The webinar recording will be viewable in 48 hours.
A utility model is a second-tier intellectual property right that protects innovations but differs from a classic patent. They play a significant role in IP, especially in Eastern Asia. Often representing the earliest publication of an invention, utility models are important to consider in prior art, freedom to operate (FTO), and validity searches.
In this coffee lecture, we will provide a short overview on utility models and share how to build a comprehensive search that covers these critical records.
What you will learn:
- Which CAS STNext databases cover utility models
- How to formulate a search that includes utility model records
- Important nuances related to utility models, including Chinese dual filings (i.e. the parallel filing of a patent application and a utility model for the same invention)
