About Patents and Trademarks
Patent
Registration
The U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office
in Arlington, VA, advises that inventors
seek the advice of a patent and
trademark attorney instead of attempting
to complete a patent application
independently. The complexity of
the language and specifications
usually requires professional assistance.
Two options exist: the non-provisional
application, which begins the
examination process that may lead
to a patent; and the provisional
application, which establishes
a filing date, but does not begin
the examination process.
Trademark
Registration
A North Dakota state trademark application
can be obtained from our office
or the Secretary of State's Office
(Phone: (701) 328-4284 or Fax: (701)
328-2992).
Federal trademark applications
are online at http://www.uspto.gov
Copyright
Registration
Copyright registration forms can
be obtained from our office. Each
application requires a fee, regardless
of the form of artwork. The U.S
Copyright Office at the Library
of Congress has Copyright Registration
Procedures and forms online.
