The protection of original inventions, writings, processes, programs, or artistic creations is assured by the Intellectual Property rights. The IPR also include trademarks or copyrights; patents are also a part of the IPR and they can be described as exclusive rights given to a patentee. Any patent which gets approved will be original, functional, and relevant for industrial and economical progress. These rights are permanently as long as the inventor makes his invention public.<\/p>\n

There are three categories when talking about patents. Here are the classifications:<\/p>\n

1.\tPlant patent- it refers to plants which are created through asexual reproduction. Everybody who makes a new variety of plants will receive a plant patent. 2.\tUtility patent- it refers to technology and inventions that have to do with mechanisms, piece of manufacture or machines which contribute to industrial and economical development. 3.\tDesign patent- this patent refers to designs and is given to anyone who creates a unique, useful, and new design for an article of manufacture.<\/p>\n

A trademark is a distinct mark which is commonly used by organizations, institutions, or companies. Trademarks are being used to exclusively differentiate goods or service from other entities especially its possible competitors. Typically, a trademark consists of a name, logo, symbol, word or phrase, image, design or combination of the said components. With a patent, you have the right to prohibit other people from creating, utilizing, selling, or trading in a patented discovery. On the other hand, with trademark you have an absolute right with your “mark.”<\/p>\n

The universal rule for patents is that they are public and can be used by people. However, only the inventors benefit from selling or distributing them. With trademarks there is another story, they are used as an image and advertising method. With a good trademark people will be protected from any frauds. The same thing applies to patent, where people are protected from illegal use of their inventions.<\/p>\n

Patents can also bring your money; as an inventor you can sell your invention and gain profit. Also, if you wish you can license it to more companies and you will get a percentage of their profit. When it comes to trademarks, people gain money through the marketing made by the trademark. As long as it is popular and people buy products, companies will have profit.<\/p>\n

In patent, you seek to obtain a patent and claim it. Primarily, you need to present a written description of your discovery. The description must de detailed. The inventor must describe the uses of his discovery. Most importantly, the inventor must provide specifications of your discovery such as how it was made and how it will be operated. The written description is termed as “patent specification.”<\/p>\n

When wanting to obtain trademark registration, people need to get an application form from the PTO or download it from their site. That application has to be filled and, when submitting, it you must also add an image of your desired mark. The next process is similar to the patent process, as you will describe your company activity, your mark and the products that will benefit from that trademark.<\/p>\n

Make sure that you don’t forget about the fees charged when registering a trademark or obtaining a patent. Also, you will need to find a person who will advise you during the process in order to make things easier. You might want to hire a trademark lawyer for trademarks or a patent lawyer for patent registration. Also, if you need more information you can find it at The Investors Assistance Center.<\/p>\n

The idea of an individual may it be in the form of an invention or simply a signage is an important asset of one’s society. Knowing how to properly utilize it as well as take good care of it can hold a lot of benefit not only to the discoverer but to the whole nation as well.<\/p>\n
