Did you know that you can obtain both patent and trademark protection for your intellectual property (IP) or invention so you can market it simultaneously? When it comes to anything that is a brand for your business, keep in mind that it is usually best to obtain as much protection as possible.

There are some cases where your business can be successful in keeping an invention a secret, called a “trade secret”, much like the Coca-Cola Company keeps the Coke formula a secret. However, you still run the risk of someone else copying your invention, with no rewards to your business.

Did you know that registering a trademark is not actually mandatory? However, if you are a business owner or work with a business that does not currently have a registered trademark, you can probably benefit from getting one.

If your company is the "Butcher Place," and a symbol of a person cutting meat with that appears on your business and in your advertising, a patent attorney can help to register and protect that trademark. That way, another company can't identify itself with a similar design, which would confuse customers.

A patent does not guarantee monetary success by itself. It’s important for all inventors to make sure that they have a strong marketing plan and strong business in order for their product or service to succeed.

If you're considering adopting a trademark for your business or a particular product, it's smart to conduct a comprehensive trademark search first. This will help you decide if what you want to use is different enough from your competitors.

Patent law attorneys do not just help a person or business to legally obtain a patent, but they also make it so that the individual or company's patent rights are protected under patent law. They can also be instrumental in providing real-time advice on ever-changing patent law.

An important part of marketing your patented product or service is studying your competition. Many business-marketing classes teach participants how to perform a SWOT analysis, which involves taking a close look at your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in contrast to your competitors.

Have you or a colleague recently stumbled onto a new business idea or innovative approach? Protecting your intellectual property is one of the best things you can do for your business over the long term.

If your business has a research and development department, working with a patent attorney ensures that all your proprietary materials are safe from infringement by others, and that new products are properly protected.

More than 500,000 patents are submitted for review each year to the United States Patent Office - some from businesses of all sizes, some from universities, and others from individuals. Working with a patent attorney to fill out and file the application helps keep it moving toward approval.

For many entrepreneurs, securing a patent on your invention simply makes good business sense. A U.S. patent can offer you higher profit margins, reduced competition, and an expanded market share on your product or process.
