    PCT Regra 49bis.1,
    PCT Regra 49bis.1(a),

    PCT Regra 76.5

    If the applicant wishes to obtain a utility model registration in ARIPO on the basis of an international application
    (i) instead of a patent, or
    (ii) in addition to a patent,
    the applicant, when performing the acts referred to in Article 22 or Article 39, shall so indicate to the Office.
    AP.14
    If the international application is for a utility model instead of a patent, the requirements are basically the same as for patents. The time limit applicable for entry into the national phase is 31 months under PCT Article 22 or 39(1), however, the term of protection of utility models is 10 years from the international filing date.
    AP.15
    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;
    (ii) where the international application was not filed in English, furnish a translation into English in two copies, including the description and at least one claim.

    HR 74,
    HAI 52(2),
    HAI 52(3)

    An international application for a patent may be converted into a utility model application and vice versa. Conversion from a patent application into a utility model application must be undertaken within three months from the date of entry into the national phase. However, the applicant can still apply to the ARIPO if the three months time limit has expired for the conversion, as long as the patent application has not yet been examined as to substance. A fee for requesting conversion is due (refer to Annex AP.I).
