ABOUT TRADEMARK & PATENT RIGHTS

A trade mark is simply the means by which you identify your goods or services. It can be in the form of a word, name, signature, slogan, device or logo..

The answer was No, but most can. Certain trade marks are more difficult to register than others, such as trade marks which clearly describe your goods or services, which consist of the name of a large city or country,etc.

A registered trademark legally protects a name, logo or slogan used to identify a business or products. Trade marks can be registrated in nearly every country in the world. You should aim to protect your trade mark wherever your goods are sold or your services provided now or in the future. 

 A Patent gives the patentee exclusive rights to an invention, in return for full disclosure to the public, for a set period of time is 20 years (most other countries). 

No, to be patentable an invention has to be novelty and not obvious to a person of ordinary skill who is experienced in that particular technology. In many countries, scientific theories, mathematical methods, plant or animal varieties, discoveries of natural substances or methods for medical treatment are generally not patentable. Also, in order to obtain a valid Patent, most countries require a patent application to be filed before the invention is made available to the public in any way.

Patents are often a good warning to the other businesses. Many competitors are now more aware of Patents and the consequences of being found to be infringing a Patent.
When viewed over 20 year life of the Patent, it is very cost effective for the protection which is obtained. Patents can be used to gain capital. They can be sold, or mortgaged to a bank to raise funds. You can also license your Patent in order to raise funds through royalty payments.
