DID YOU KNOW? There are two main ways to legally protect your inventions in Uganda: #patents and #utilitymodels. While both grant exclusive rights, they apply to different types of innovations. A Patent protects inventions that provide a completely new technical solution to a problem, especially for revolutionary ideas and original technologies, while Utility Models protect minor improvements to existing products or processes. It’s quicker to obtain and is ideal for practical, small-scale innovations. Both methods provide legal protection, promote innovation, and can be valuable business assets. Therefore, understanding the difference helps you select the right protection for your invention. #intellectualproperty #IPRights #patent #utilitymodel
