What Type of Protection Do You Need?

Understanding which form of intellectual property protection is right for your creation can be challenging. Here's a quick overview to help you determine what you need.

Patents

Ideal for: New inventions, processes, machines, or manufacturing methods that are novel, non-obvious, and useful.

Patents grant exclusive rights to make, use, or sell your invention. Consider this when you've created something innovative with functional applications.

Trademarks

Ideal for: Business names, logos, slogans, and anything that identifies your brand in the marketplace.

Trademarks protect your brand identity and prevent customer confusion. Essential for businesses looking to build and protect their reputation and brand recognition.

Copyrights

Ideal for: Creative works including writing, music, artwork, photography, software, and other original expressions.

Copyrights protect the expression of ideas (not the ideas themselves). Registration provides stronger protection for creators and artists against unauthorized copying.

Still Not Sure What You Need?

Many innovations require multiple forms of protection. For example, a new product might need both a patent (for its functionality) and a trademark (for its brand name). We can help you develop a comprehensive strategy.
