A: the difference between utility model and invention is as follows:
First, the utility model is limited to the products with a certain shape, can not be a method, also can not be a product without a fixed shape;
Second, the creativity of the utility model is not too high, but the practicability is strong.
In view of the feature that utility model does not have high demand for creativity, people generally call it small invention and small creation. However, it needs to be understood that for highly creative invention-creation, as long as it conforms to the protection object of the utility model, it can also apply for the utility model patent.
The shape of the product refers to the observable and definite spatial shape of the product. The technical scheme for the product shape can be the technical scheme for the three-dimensional spatial shape of the product, such as the improvement of the CAM shape and cutter shape. It can also be a technical solution to the two-dimensional shape of the product, such as the improvement of the section shape of the profile.
The structure of a product refers to the arrangement, organization and relationship among the components of the product. The structure of the product may be mechanical or circuit. Mechanical structure refers to the relative position relation, connection relation and necessary mechanical coordination relation of the components of the product, etc. Line structure refers to the definite connection relation between the components of the product.
