Legal Docs: Trademarks, Copyrights & Patents

TRADEMARKS

A trademark is the one of the most important business assets you’ll ever own. It’s your name, your logo, or any other symbol that distinguishes your company or products in the marketplace.

COPYRIGHTS

Copyrighting your creative work protects it from unauthorized use. With a registered copyright, you control how your work is reproduced, distributed and presented publicly.

Provisional Patent

A Provisional Application for Patent establishes your priority with a “date of invention.” In other words, it tells the world “This is my invention.” It’s so important to file a Provisional Application for Patent because in Patent Law, the person who comes up with an idea first may not benefit. It’s the person who takes action and files the patent application first who wins the credit.
