Patent

- Invention patens are a fundamental tool to protect innovation, as they confer to the owner the exclusive right to commercially exploit an invention (e.g. a product, a machine or a process that was not known to the public before).

- Utility models on the other side protect new conformations, combinations or configurations of machines or tools that are already known to the public, provided that they enable an enhanced efficiency or usability with respect to products already in the market.
