    If the international application is for a utility model instead of a patent, the requirements are basically the same as for patents.

    If the international application is for both a utility model and a patent, the applicant must, within the time limit applicable for entry into the national phase, comply with the following requirements:
    (i) pay two filing fees for both the patent and the utility model within 14 days from entry into the national phase;

A fee for requesting conversion is due (refer to Annex AP.I).
