Same but different This brings us to another, perhaps the biggest, difference: the duration of protection. The term of protection, often called life span, is a maximum of 20 years for a patent. For a utility model, the maximum duration of protection is only half as long, at 10 years. For short-lived products or innovations, a protection period of 10 years may be more than enough, but for a fundamental invention or new standard, a longer protection period makes sense.
