The difference between patents, trademarks and copyrights
July 18th, 2008
There are basic differences between a patent, trademark and copyright. Each grants legal rights and authority, but for different distinguishable properties. A patent for an invention grants the inventor property rights for 20 years and excludes others from making, using, offering for sale, selling or importing the invention in the United States. A trademark distinguishes goods with a word, name, symbol or device from the goods of others. Trademark rights prevent others from using a similar mark. Copyright protection is for authors of original works and gives the owner exclusive rights to reproduce the copyrighted work, distribute copies, or to perform or display the work in public. If you decide you need patent protection, hire a registered patent attorney to do a patentability search to ensure there is a likelihood you can get a patent or an infringment search to ensure there is no domestic or foreign competition with rights to your invention.
