What is the difference between trademark and patent?
Can you explain to me the difference between trademark and patent?
Sure thing! A trademark is a symbol, word, or words legally registered or established by use as representing a company or product. A patent is a form of intellectual property that gives its owner the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, and importing an invention for a limited period of time, usually 20 years. Essentially, trademarks protect names and logos, while patents protect inventions and processes.
