In this blog post, we will discuss the difference between a <a href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/patents.html\">patent<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/trademarks.html\">trademark.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Both of these are important forms of intellectual property protection, but they offer different levels of protection and serve different purposes. If you are in need of a patent lawyer in Los Angeles to assist with either a patent or a trademark, please contact <a href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/\">Omni Legal Group<\/a> for a consultation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Patent?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A patent is a form of intellectual property protection that is granted to an inventor for a new invention. The invention can be a product, a process, or a machine. In order to receive a patent, the invention must be new and unique.<\/p>\n<p>A patent gives the owner of the patent the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention for a period of 20 years. After the 20-year period expires, the invention can become part of the public domain, and can be used without permission if the patent is not renewed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is a Trademark?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes goods from one company from those of another company. A trademark can be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, which gives the owner of the trademark certain legal rights.<\/p>\n<p>A trademark can be used to protect a brand name, logo, or slogan. For example, Nike\u2019s \u201cJust Do It\u201d slogan is a registered trademark. Trademarks can also be used to protect the shape of a product, like the Coca-Cola bottle.<\/p>\n<p>The owner of a registered trademark can and if need be, take legal action against anyone who violates the security of the trademark without permission.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which One is Right for Your Business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have invented a new product, process, or machine, you will want to file for a patent. If you have a brand name, logo, or slogan that you want to protect, you will want to register it as a trademark.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not sure whether your invention is patentable or if your mark is eligible for trademark protection, contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/contact-us.html\">office<\/a> for a consultation. Our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/omnilegalgroup.com\/\">patent and trademark attorneys in Los Angeles<\/a> can help you determine the best course of action for protecting your intellectual property.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have Questions about the Patent or Trademark Application Process?
