Utility patents and Patent Trademarks are the best way to claim those ideas and inventions which can be of great importance in any field. They ensure that the person or the organization which has coined those ideas doesn’t end up unsolicited for its endeavors. A utility patent is a type of copyright granted by the federal government to ensure that no other person or institution can claim over the authority of the invention. It awards the inventor the right to prevent others from using, making and offering for sale, the same item or invention for a specific period of time. Utility Patents are awarded in the case of inventors who have designed a new machine or have invented a more useful way to do something. Also, they are awarded for a new kind of ‘matter’ invented. The most common examples of Utility patents are those filed by the pharmaceutical companies or software and hardware companies who come up with a new product. Overall a utility patent is chiefly concerned with the function or the job of the invention. It is granted for a period of 20 years. Utility patents are further divided into non-provisional utility patents and provisional utility patents. Utility patent covers the functional feature of the item. However it does not cover the name of the identifier. It is the patent cover which covers the identifier. Controlling your intellectual property is the key to run a successful business. A patent protects the commercial rights of identifier patent trademark protects the name. Although there is a difference between utility patents and trademarks, there are significant fundamentals in common. Both the areas of the law tend to protect us from intellectual theft of any idea or invention. Trademarks are used as a signature by the companies to differentiate their products from other products. Trademarks are usually names, symbols and designs which give a company the right for exclusive use of the marks. Utility patents, on the other hand, give you the right to deny the use or the selling of your inventions. While the government encourage people to opt for utility patent in order to make their invention public. Utility patents can also help you bring money as you can resell your invention to some other party. Trademarks are basically used for marketing purposes. When it comes to trademarks, people make money by trading their trademarks. As long as their trademark is popular, people will buy more and they will have more profit.
