The utility model is a system which provides protection of the novel not only in Turkey but also all through the world and industrially applicable inventions. The procedures for the issuance of a utility model certificate are much more convenient than the patent certificates in terms of time and expenses. It has been considered that the simple and inexpensive procedural proceedings for utility models may encourage especially the small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) and research institutions to make an invention and apply such inventions to the industry.
