How much does patenting cost?

The cost depends on the type of application, the countries where protection is sought, and the duration of protection. The University partially reimburses these costs.

What is the difference between a patent and a utility model?

A patent provides stronger and longer protection up to 20 years, while a utility model is easier and faster to obtain, typically lasting up to 10 years.
How long is a patent valid?

Up to 20 years, provided that maintenance fees are paid.
