Trademark, copyright and patent are three most confusing
words. All these three words are generally registered with the Federal
Government. When some other company uses the trademark, copyright and patent of
other companies without permission, it will be called as infringement. It is
very important for every owner that they protects their own work from getting
used by some other person.
A trademark is something which protects the services or
products that comes from a specific company. For an example trademark represent
the corporate logo which is generally placed on the products to show that it
comes from a particular company. Patent is something which protects inventions.
The inventions must be novel, useful and non-obvious. Non-obvious in the sense
that someone who understands the technical area of the invention and also finds
that the invention is wholly new and completely innovative in nature. The most
important difference is that patent is generally registered with the Patent and Trademark office while each
state of India has different
Trademark laws. The trademark and patent does not come into being until it is
not registered and your registration is approved. When a company have an idea,
invention, or product that needs to be reliably put under a patent, the process
can be both long and complicated. And if
the company does not do the processes properly then it can proves to be
a devastating one.
A patent or a trademark lawyer has many responsibilities on his shoulders. They not only file a patent or trademark for the companies on behalf of their products or inventions but also look for the things which has been not already used by some other companies. The patent or trademark attorney must have a strong communication, writing skills as well as must have proper knowledge in litigation process. Choosing the right attorney for your organization to handle all the proceedings is very important. The lawyer must specializes in all the areas. If the other company find any loophole in your process and can easily steal your idea under your nose. A good patent or trademark lawyer must know all the rules and regulations and also understand the laws of India for application filing and all the related issues regarding patent and trademark.
