IPC/LD Art. 82-86

If the applicant wishes to obtain a utility model instead of a patent in Italy, on the basis of an international application, the applicant, when performing the acts referred to in PCT Article 22 or 39, shall so indicate to the Office. The requirements for the national phase are basically the same as for patents, but utility model protection does not cover processes, according to IPC Article 82.

Instead of annual fees, maintenance fees have to be paid once for utility models at the beginning of the fifth year counted from the international filing date. The amount of the annual fees and the surcharge fee for late payment are indicated in Annex IT.I. The maximum term of protection is 10 years.
