This week's guest is Devin Miller.
Devin is a patent and trademark attorney and I asked him on to the show because I was interested in when and how we need to protect our intellectual property. Devin did a great job of explaining the difference between the 3 main methods.
A patent protects a physical object that does something; it makes, fixes, or produces another object. Trade marks are used when you want to protect your brand, and copyright when you have created something e.g., a model, approach, or design.
My feeling is that many of us are solopreneurs, or we go in to business as start-ups but don’t think enough about two things: firstly, how to protect ideas or approaches we have, and secondly, what we ultimately want the business to be.
For more insight into knowing when (and when not) to patent, use a trademark or copyright your work, check out the show.
