What is the difference between these three things? I have a faint idea, but just want to know what you would patent, what you would trademark etc. and also where to do it (if its available online)
From my guesses, a trademark is on a name, saying you are the only one who can use that name in that country for the purpose stated in the trademark. I also know the site, http://www.uspto.gov/go/tm
A patent, would be on a product or invention, stating you are the only person who can use the technology in the product. (like, nobody else can use the PIII technology and pass it off as their own, but they are free to make their own style of chips..AMD). I don't know the site
And a copyright, I'm really not sure. Wouldn't it be the same as a trademark? to copyright your name so that nobody else can use it. I also don't know the site.
If I was wrong on any of these, please correct me because I really want to know. And if I'm right, then I don't need none of ya!
