While an idea is not
eligible for patent protection, most reproduceable inventions are. If you have
created something new, novel, and reproduceable, chances are that your creation
is eligible for legally enforceable intellectual property rights
protection.
It’s important to
understand that not all creations are treated the same under the law. If you’re
an artist, author, or musician and you’ve created an original work of art or
authorship, your work isn’t patentable. Instead, you’ll want to register the
copyright for your work (which is created as soon as your work is fixed in a
tangible form) with the U.S. Copyright Office. If your business has developed a
branding tool, such as a graphic, logo, phrase, original domain name, etc. then
you’ll need to register your original trademark with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office. However, if your novel and reproduceable creative work is
a manufactured product, process, machine, product design, or plant species,
that work may be patentable.
