R&D and innovation[]

Until 2002, Zoomlion did not file any patent or utility model applications. Between 2003 and 2010, Zoomlion increased the number of applications from around 20 to more than 160 applications. The main difference between a patent and a utility model is the durability and the strength of protection. Patents are protected for twenty years, while utility models are only protected for ten years. Thus, a utility model can be described as a weaker form of patent.[26]
