News about Intellectual Property cases in Colorado and nationwide:
Definition:
The owner of record of a patent application, patent, trademark application or trademark registration who is transferring (assigning) ownership to another entity.
Suggestive Term
Definition:
Is considered to be inherently distinctive and needs no proof of secondary meaning for registration or protection in court. For example, polar bear for parkas and coats merely suggests the kind of protection that a polar bear has from the cold.
Novelty and prior art
Definition:
A trade secret may be a device or process which is patentable; but it need not be that. It may be a device or process which is clearly anticipated in the prior art or one which is merely a mechanical improvement that a good mechanic can make. Novelty and invention are not requisite for a trade secret as they are for patentability. These requirements are essential to patentability because a patent protects against unlicensed use of the patented device or process even by one who discovers it properly through independent research.
