Trademark, Copyright, or Patent?

Overview

Names, original works, inventions, and industrial designs may call for different protection routes.

Content

Start With What You Made

A brand name or mark raises a different question from an original work, an invention, or an industrial design. Describe the subject before choosing the filing route.

Trademark Questions

Trademark work usually starts with the proposed mark and the goods or services behind it. A search can help identify similar marks before application.

Copyright Questions

Copyright questions begin with the original work, its creator, and the ownership details. That is different from protecting a business name or mark.

Patent And Design Questions

Inventions and industrial designs need their own early review. Bring a description of what was created so the team can identify the next useful question.
