According to the DPMA website,
"Utility model protection can last for up to 10 years. This is a major
difference to the patent that can be kept in force for up to 20 years.
The initial term of protection is three years. Protection can be
renewed after three, six and eight years by paying the appropriate
maintenance fee."
