Utility models, also known as "small patents", are valuable assets for high-tech business development. Registering a utility model is much faster and cheaper than patent proceedings. The invention is registered as a utility model without expensive examinations after a formal compliance check.

The procedure for registration of a utility model begins with an application filed with the Patent Office of the Republic of Bulgaria. Successful registration can be obtained within one or two months of the application filing.

The assistance of a professional representative in the registration procedure ensures the rapid and efficient fulfilment of the formal requirements regarding the description of the invention, the drawings and the claims that determine the scope of protection.
