    So is it time to panic? Hardly. Here are some things to keep in mind:

    1. This is a utility model patent, not an invention patent. Therefore it was not subject to substantive review at the time it was granted. That means it may not, if challenged, meet patentability standards such as novelty. Utility models are comparatively weak patents, and we don’t know whether this one represents a real inventive step or is useless junk.
