At Brevetti Digiovanni Schmiedt in Milan, we can help you protect your creativity through a utility model. What is this, exactly? Pursuant to the Industrial Property Code, 'New inventions which involve an inventive step and are susceptible of industrial application may be protected as utility models if they consist of giving an object a shape, structure, mechanism or layout which increases its utility or improves its conditions of use. In particular, utensils, instruments, tools, apparatus, devices or parts thereof, vessels and other objects which meet the requirements of the preceding paragraph may be protected as utility models'.
