Protect your most Valuable Assets

Intellectual property falls into three different categories: trademarks, patents, and copyright. The characteristics of the works categorize them and are as follows.

Trademark

Trademarks are a phrase, word, design, or a combination that identifies specific goods or services. Which distinguishes them from the goods or services of others. Showing the official source of these goods or services.

This law protects the trademark from registration without permission from others. It also helps prevent others from using a trademark that is like one that is already related to registered goods or services.

A well-known example of a trademark is Coca-Cola®.

Patent

Patents cover technical inventions. Like chemical compositions such as pharmaceutical drugs, mechanical processes, or machine designs that are new, unique, and usable in some type of industry.

Patent law safeguards these inventions and processes from others, copying, making, using, or selling them without consent from the inventor.

An example of a patent is a design for a new, more efficient motor.

Copyright

Copyrights cover an artistic, literary, or intellectual created work. This includes works like novels, music, movies, software code, photographs, and paintings. Which are original and exist in a tangible medium. Such as paper, canvas, film, or digital format.

Copyrights protects the creator’s exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, perform, and display the created work. It also prevents other people from copying or exploiting the creation without the copyright holder’s permission.

Song lyrics like “You’re Welcome” from the movie “Moana” are an example of a copyright.

Our Chicago intellectual property law firm stands ready to help you manage and keep all your IP secure.
