Powdered Chinese medicine can apply for a patent for utility model.
You can't. According to the information inquired by the utility model patent, powdered Chinese medicine cannot apply for utility model patent, because the shape of gaseous, liquid, powdery and granular substances or materials cannot be used as the shape characteristics of utility model products. The utility model patent is one of three kinds of patents (invention, utility model and design), and utility model refers to a new practical technical scheme for the shape, structure or combination of products.
