You are creating a really cool product. That product is a unique and useful product. You want to make sure that your product is identifiable so you make up a totally fake word as the name of the product. Then you create a logo for it. The product is a little complicated and so needs an instruction manual. Discuss the different intellectual property protections you will have for any of the different items mentioned. Briefly discuss whether you have to register or file for protection or if protection is automatic and how long it lasts.
Following protections are available for the product in case.
(i) Patent for the product which prevents others from copying and selling it on commercial level for financial gains. The patent is available for 20 years. For getting protection under patents, one needs to file application with US patents and trademarks office.
(ii) Trademark is a unique symbol, logo, punchline or anything else that can be protected and applied for at the US patents and trademarks office. It is valid forever, up to the time it is their in the business. In this case, the logo as well as can be registered, but the brand name " Totally fake" is misleading and confusing in nature and is likely to be rejected by the authorities.
