Patents and Utility Models for Inventions
Patents are the main way to protect your new ideas and inventions but utility models should not be overlooked. Utility models protect minor developments and there is no requirement for inventiveness.
Neither the UK nor the USA have a utility model provision but most other major economies do, including China, Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Korea. They are cheaper to obtain although they have a shorter duration.
Design registrations protect the external appearance of your product. They protect the new external shape or pattern of your design compared to what has gone before.
Trademark registrations protect the brand name or other identifying mark that distinguishes your goods or services from those of your competitors or other providers.
