PATENTS provide rights for up to 20 years
for inventions in three broad categories:
Utility patents protect useful processes,
machines, articles of manufacture, and
compositions of matter. Some examples: fiber
optics, computer hardware, medications.
Design patents guard the unauthorized use of
new, original, and ornamental designs for
articles of manufacture. The look of an athletic
shoe, a bicycle helmet, the Star Wars
characters are all protected by design patents.
Plant patents are the way we protect invented
or discovered, asexually reproduced plant
varieties. Hybrid tea roses, Silver Queen corn,
Better Boy tomatoes are all types of plant
patents.

TRADEMARKS protect words, names, symbols,
sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services.
Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as
long as they are being used in business. The roar of the
MGM lion, the pink of the Owens-Corning insulation,
and the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle are familiar
trademarks.

networks are also used for legitimate purposes; the legal
issues in file sharing involve violating the laws of
copyrighted material.
