Can Trademarks Help Protect NFTs?

Can Trademarks Help Protect NFTs?

 

In the past few years, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have become a popular investment product. NFTs are cryptographic assets found in blockchains. Many people have purchased NFTs in the hopes that their value will increase or remain high. But, for something like an NFT to be valuable, it must be protected from unauthorized reproduction. Trademarks are a valuable strategy for protecting brand names, slogans, and logos. Trademarks are also used in the same way to protect NFTs from unauthorized use of reproduction.

Trademarks are names, phrases, words, designs, or other defined items that establish the identity for a company in a customer’s view. By registering your trademark, you are protected from other infringing your property. Registration creates a legally documented ownership of your trademark as part of the business you are running, which oftentimes is a very valuable asset. Furthermore, trademark registration can provide legal resolution for preventing others from damaging the honor of your business.

NFTs can include things such as digital artwork, fashion and accessories, avatars, music, sports highlights or memorabilia, memes, social media. They serve as valuable assets to businesses. One example is by generating sales and increasing your customers. Business owners can also make money with NFTs using smart contracts, that are immediately executed when the customer sends payment or completes some other condition. Additionally, your business could benefit from earning royalties on secondary sales of NFTs. It is important to trademark your NFT, to protect it from infringement and increase its value. In addition to obtaining protection from infringement, a federally registered NFT trademark enables you and your business to increase your brand identity and gain more recognition in the virtual world.

NFT trademark applications have increased tremendously from every sector. Some of these include finance and banking, food and beverage, restaurants, art, music, entertainment, clothing, and retail. The power of trademarking NFTs comes from preventing the damage of integrity of your NFT. This comes in the form or infringement protection, stopping counterfeit NFTs, as well as future types of infringement that may be unpredictable. One example involves the popular French designer/retailer, Hermès. The company sued a digital artist selling “Metabirkins”, claiming that their trademark protection of the real-world Birkin extends to the virtual world as well. This is a great example that highlights the importance of hiring an experienced trademark attorney which is imperative to protecting your assets, both virtual and in the real world.

Intellectual Property Protection

Intellectual Property Protection

There are many different types of intellectual property, and it can be confusing to understand the difference between them. In this blog post, we will discuss the difference between a patent and a trademark.

Both of these are important forms of intellectual property protection, but they offer different levels of protection and serve different purposes. If you are in need of a patent lawyer in Los Angeles to assist with either a patent or a trademark, please contact Omni Legal Group for a consultation.

 

What is a Patent?

A patent is a form of intellectual property protection that is granted to an inventor for a new invention. The invention can be a product, a process, or a machine. In order to receive a patent, the invention must be new and unique.

A patent gives the owner of the patent the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention for a period of 20 years. After the 20-year period expires, the invention can become part of the public domain, and can be used without permission if the patent is not renewed.

 

What is a Trademark?

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that identifies and distinguishes goods from one company from those of another company. A trademark can be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office, which gives the owner of the trademark certain legal rights.

A trademark can be used to protect a brand name, logo, or slogan. For example, Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan is a registered trademark. Trademarks can also be used to protect the shape of a product, like the Coca-Cola bottle.

The owner of a registered trademark can and if need be, take legal action against anyone who violates the security of the trademark without permission.

 

Which One is Right for Your Business?

If you have invented a new product, process, or machine, you will want to file for a patent. If you have a brand name, logo, or slogan that you want to protect, you will want to register it as a trademark.

If you are not sure whether your invention is patentable or if your mark is eligible for trademark protection, contact our office for a consultation. Our experienced patent and trademark attorneys in Los Angeles can help you determine the best course of action for protecting your intellectual property.

Common Misconceptions about Patents

Misconceptions about Patents

Patents provide a designated period of time where you get “control” over your invention. The way patents operate is that it gives you a legal recourse if a competitor attempts to utilize elements of your patent. This resource is a type of intellectual property right that gives you as the inventor a legal right to your ability to profit from your intervention.

A patent provides the exclusive access and rights to your invention including the design, invention itself, and the process of creating the invention in exchange for complete disclosure of your invention. Obtaining a patent protects you from any group or individual competitor that tries to utilize your design or implementation of your patent. In short, patents provides one legal protection for mitigating any patent infringements or any element improperly utilized by a competitor.

 

  1. Patents are Cost Prohibitive

There are several different elements to the total cost of obtaining a patent. Key factors include your United States Patent and Trademark fees, attorney fees, and professional diagram or drawing fees.

 

There are a number of ways you can lower the costs and fees associated with obtaining a patent for your invention. These include making sure you have prepared a long length and very detailed summary of your invention, being ready to start the process with a finished invention, and able to provide a application for your patent in draft form.

 

Working with a highly experienced patent lawyer at the Omni Legal Group will help you be able to streamline your application which can lead to overall lower fees.

 

  1. Patents Last Forever

Generally speaking, patents issued these days last no more than 20 years, as long as your maintenance fees are paid, if applicable for your type of patent. The 20 year count down starts from your initial application filing date, as in, your first application for your patent that you send into the Patent office.

 

  • Utility patents —> The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues fees on a 3.5, 7.5, and 11.5 year schedule for utility patents.
  • Design Patents —> If you file a United States design patent, there are no required fees.

 

The goal of the strategic scheduled fees is that you can let your patent lapse if you desire due to unforeseen financial circumstances surrounding the use of your patent or if the commercial benefits are no longer in line with your goals. The USPTO office sets the amount of the maintenance fees and how the fees scale in price strategically in line with a gradual raise of fees at each milestone.

Why Do I Need a Patent Attorney?

Patent Attorney

U.S. patent law dictates that an inventor must file a complete patent application within the first year of public use or disclosure of your patent or within one year of your very first offer to sell your patent.

 

Patent attorneys help businesses and individual inventors through the very complicated and convoluted process of securing a patent for an invention and enforce the rights of your patent if they were to be challenged or violated.

 

The purpose of filing a patent is to ensure your right to prevent anyone from selling the same product or benefiting indirectly from a design aspect for example. To ensure your patent is as shield proof as possible from litigation, it is critical to hire an experienced patent attorney to conduct the proper research, draft and submit an application that encompasses your unique invention to the fullest extent possible allowed by the relevant patent law codes and legal regulations in the United States.

 

While there are only a hand full of different types of patents, it takes time to properly research which category best fits your invention.

 

Speaking of research, it is in your best interest to hire a patent lawyer to conduct a thorough and detailed patent search on your behalf as it will most likely take hundreds of hours to properly seek out the information needed by yourself without the necessary tools and expertise. There are many specific, detailed requirements and deadlines in the application process that must not be missed or your right to your specific and unique patent could be jeopardized, or worse yet, open for competition.

 

Furthermore, if your patent were to be violated or contested, it is imperative to have the counsel of a professional patent attorney in Los Angeles for adequate legal representation for matters such as infringement, licensing issues and re-examination issues. Licensed patent attorneys are further prepared to take legal defense action upon any issuance of actions by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Most Common Mistakes Made When Filing a Trademark

Los Angeles Trademark Attorney

As a business owner, you know the importance of protecting your brand.  Filing a trademark application can be tricky, and if you make even one mistake, your application could be denied. In this article, we will discuss some of the most common mistakes people make when filing for trademark protection.

1.Not Using the TM Symbol Properly:

The TM symbol is a way to indicate that you are claiming common-law rights to a mark. You can use the TM symbol on any mark that is not yet registered with the USPTO.

However, once you receive federal registration for your mark, you must use the ® symbol. Federal registration gives you many benefits, including the presumption of ownership and exclusive right to use your mark nationwide.

If you continue to use the TM symbol after receiving federal registration, you could lose some of these valuable benefits.

2.Filing for the Wrong Type of Trademark:

There are two main types of trademarks: trademark names and logos. It’s important to file for the correct type of trademark protection based on what you want to protect.

For example, if you want to protect the name of your business, you would file for a trademark name. On the other hand, if you want to protect your company’s logo, you would file for a trademark logo.

If you’re not sure which type of trademark protection is right for you, it’s best to consult with an experienced trademark attorney in Los Angeles.

3.Filing without Doing a Proper Search:

Before filing a trademark application, it is in your best interest to do a thorough search of existing trademarks. This will help you avoid any potential conflicts and increase the chances of your application being approved.

There are many online resources that can help you with this process, but it’s always best to consult with an experienced trademark attorney for optimum results.

4.Filing Without a Basis:

You can only file for trademark protection if you have a legitimate basis for doing so. There are three main bases for filing: use in commerce, intent to use, and foreign registration.

If you cannot check one of the bases mentioned above, your application will likely be denied. Consult with a knowledgeable trademark lawyer to determine which basis is right for you.

5.Not Identifying All the Goods and Services You Want to Protect:

When you file for trademark protection, you need to specify all the goods and services you want to include in your application. If you don’t, your trademark registration could be limited in scope and not provide the full protection you need.

REMEDIES FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT

Los Angeles patent attorney

Remedies for Patent Infringement

Coming to the realization that an unauthorized user has infringed on your intellectual property is an absolute punch in the gut. After all the work and expense, one has put into developing, registering, and marketing your patent, it can be extremely frustrating to watch someone else making money off your idea.

As a patent holder, you have legal options to protect your IP. Here are some remedies you can pursue when you discover someone is infringing your rights.

Cease-and-desist Letters

The first step in many infringement situations is to have your patent attorney send a cease-and-desist letter to the person or company that’s infringing your mark.

There are two types of cease-and-desist letters. The first simply tells the infringing party to stop doing what they’re doing, or to “knock it off.” Often, this letter can be enough to scare the infringer and stop the infringement.

Patent attorneys also often send cease-and-desist letters demanding a settlement from the infringer. In exchange for receiving a settlement, the patent holder would agree not to file a patent infringement lawsuit.

Injunctions

If a cease-and-desist letter is not enough to stop the infringing activity, the next step to stop the infringement is initiating patent litigation. When a complaint is filed alleging patent infringement, they often ask the court for a temporary injunction at the outset of the case. If the judge grants the temporary injunction, the defendant must stop their infringing actions while the case is being litigated.

If a plaintiff is successful in court, part of the case disposition may include a permanent injunction. This would prevent the defendant from infringing the plaintiff’s patent again in the future.

Monetary Awards

In addition to an injunction, plaintiffs can win monetary awards in patent litigation. Patent holders can win a few different types of awards in court. The first type is “reasonable royalties,” which would be equivalent to what someone would pay to license the patent. The second type of monetary award is “lost profits.” This is the amount of money the plaintiff would have earned, but for the defendant’s infringement of the patent.

In some cases, courts will also award reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party in patent infringement cases, if the facts of the case are “exceptional.”

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A COPYRIGHT, A PATENT, AND A TRADEMARK

Difference between a Copyright, a Patent, and a Trademark – an Overview

Intellectual property rights give owners certain protections over their creations. Despite being
under the same umbrella term, different types of intellectual property have different types of
protections.

This article provides a brief overview of what it means to have copyright, patent, or trademark
protection.

Copyrights

Copyright law protects original works of art, such as books, songs, art, photographs, and videos.
In the United States, an author or creator automatically has copyright ownership of a work when
it’s created.

Registering your work with the U.S. Library of Congress gives you certain benefits, including:

  • The right to reproduce the work, such as by selling copies of a book or movie;
  • The right to display or perform the work publicly;
  • The right to license the work to others; and
  • The right to file a lawsuit claiming copyright infringement.

Copyright protection for works created in 2022 are valid for the life of the author and 70 years,
with no renewal requirements.

Patents

There are two types of patents: utility patents and design patents. Utility patents protect
inventions, while design patents protect non-functional decorative elements of an invention.
Patents can protect physical items, like the latest smartphone, and mechanical processes, as well
as chemical compounds found in pharmaceuticals, and even software code.

Unlike copyrights, patents give the patent holder the right to prohibit others from making, selling, or otherwise distributing the invention. Patent law does not give the patent holder any rights to make, sell, or distribute their invention.

If you’re an inventor, it’s important to file for patent protection early, because the United States
is a first-to-file jurisdiction. This means that, regardless of who invented the item first, the first
person or company to file their papers with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will
receive protection over the invention.

Utility patents are valid for 20 years, while design patents are valid for 14 years.

Trademarks

Finally, trademarks protect branding, whether it’s a slogan, logo, or even the name of a business.
Trademarks help the public identify the origin and quality or a particular product or service.

A trademark owner has the right to prohibit others from using a similar mark within a particular
industry. For example, a computer repair company could register their trademark for the service
they provide as well as their advertising materials, but would not be able to use the mark, and
could not prohibit others from using a similar mark, if utilized by a guitar manufacturer. To learn
more please contact a trademark attorney in Los Angeles.

Trademark rights can last for hundreds of years, as long as the mark is still being used and the
owner of the mark files for renewal.

Different aspects of intellectual property law allows different types of protection for owners. As
an IP owner, it’s important to understand what type of intellectual property protection your
creation can receive and what rights you have over the work.

What Are The Different Types of Patent Searches?

patent search - Omni legal Group

Different Types of Patent Searches – an Overview

People are surprised to learn that multiple types of patent searches can be conducted, and the search selected will depend upon the search’s rationale. This article provides an overview of the different types of patent searches that can be done.

Novelty or Patentability Search

Novelty searches are conducted to determine the likelihood of getting a patent through the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This is a vitally important search because you do not want to waste your time and resources on filing a patent application for something that is already subject to an existing patent.

Another benefit associated with this type of search is that it can often yield valuable information to the inventors, such as competitors in the same space.

You may be asking yourself, “what exactly are the steps that need to be taken to conduct a novelty search?” Well, the first step is for the inventor to clearly identify the invention and list out all the elements and key aspects that they believe are novel. Second, a comprehensive search needs to be conducted through the USPTO database for patents and publications, Google, and other databases to assess whether any of the search results involve the same elements as those described by the inventor.

Freedom to Operate Search

A Freedom to Operate (FTO) search is done to help determine whether it would be prudent to commercialize the product in view of existing patents. In other words, the FTO search determines if the inventor is free to operate and commercialize the invention without the fear of getting sued for infringement. The focus of an FTO search and opinion is on the claim portion of the existing, in-force patents, rather than the disclosure portion of the prior art as in a novelty search. As a result, FTO searches tend to be more complex and time-intensive.

The steps involved to conduct an FTO search are similar to those taken during a novelty search. Just like a novelty search, the inventor must clearly identify the invention and list out all the elements and key aspects that they believe are novel. A searcher will conduct a comprehensive search focusing only on in-force patents and published patent applications in the relevant jurisdiction. After that, your patent attorney must then review and analyze the search results, specifically by scrutinizing the independent claims of the relevant patents and researching the prosecution history of those patents. The patent attorney will then assess if there is literal infringement or equivalent infringement for the elements described by the inventor.

The objective of an FTO search is to assess whether the proposed invention infringes upon any patents found in the FTO search. If they do, the inventor can decide whether they want to stop any further efforts related to the commercialization of the proposed invention, engage in a redesign, or approach the patent holder for possible licensing negotiations.

Validity Search

Validity searches are usually conducted when there is a request by a potential defendant or a defendant in an actual patent infringement lawsuit seeking to invalidate the patentee’s patent as a defense to patent infringement. The objective is to determine whether the identified patent is valid or enforceable.

In other instances, a validity search and opinion may be used prior to purchasing or licensing certain patents to determine the strength of those patents.

How to Navigate Class Selection in a Trademark Application

How to Navigate Class Selection in a Trademark Application

Registering a trademark can be a difficult and stressful process. Why? Because one of the key aspects of the trademark application process is selecting the correct “class” for your trademark. There are 45 classes in total, and it is up to you, the applicant, to select the right one.

The class selection process may be intimidating, as each class relates to a specific type of good or service. However, there are often ambiguities and misinterpretations of what good or service should fall into which class. This is where the counsel and guidance of an experienced trademark lawyer can prove to be invaluable.

For example, your product might fall under one of the most common trademark classes, class 42 (also known as the “Science and Technology Services” class).

This class is geared towards services handled by trained professionals such as chemists, engineers, computer programmers, physicists, etc. for services that deal with scientific and technical services such as:

  • Software design services,
  • Technical research,
  • Computer programming,
  • Chemistry services,
  • Architectural services,
  • Biological research,
  • Chemistry research
  • Cloud computing and seeding services,
  • Computer technology consulting,
  • Construction drafting,
  • Medical research,
  • Electronic data storage, and
  • Environmental protection research.

For example, a class 42 trademark might be pursued for cosmetic research, biological research, and even computer data recovery.

Classes That Commonly Coordinated with Class 42

Class 42 includes an array of services in technical and scientific fields. However, there are situations in which class 42 does not cover all areas of technical services such as medical services or the installation of computer software. In such circumstances, it is essential that you invest the time, or seek the counsel of an experienced trademark attorney, to identify other classes that cover your service. It is important to understand the different components of what you are looking to register as a trademark. It is possible that your product or service requires filing in multiple classes to cover the different components of what you are looking to protect with a trademark. Some classes commonly related with Class 42 include:

  • Class 9: Electrical and Scientific Apparatus,
  • Class 36: Insurance and Finance Services,
  • Class 37: Construction and Repair Services,
  • Class 38: Telecommunications Services,
  • Class 39: Shipping and Travel Services,
  • Class 40: Material Treatment Services,
  • Class 41: Education and Entertainment Services,
  • Class 43: Food Services,
  • Class 44: Medical and Vet Services, and
  • Class 45: Legal and Security Services.

Registering a Class 42 Trademark

The first step in registering a Class 42 trademark is to conduct a trademark search for existing marks within that class and the related classes. Once this search is complete, the next step is to prepare and file your trademark application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A trademark examiner will then review your application, and if all requirements are met, a registration may be issued. The last step of the trademark process is to maintain your trademark status. If these steps seem intimidating or overwhelming, it is strongly recommended you contact an experienced trademark attorney to help guide you through the process.

How Can an Unregistered Mark Create Problems for a Trademark Application?

Experienced Trademark Lawyer in Los Angeles

Common Law Rights in Trademark Approval

Many prospective trademark applicants wrongly assume that the Examining Attorneys at the Trademark Office, when conducting trademark searches for the applicant’s proposed mark, will search common law rights (i.e., use rights and unregistered rights) along with the registered and pending marks.

The Examining Attorneys at the USPTO lack the resources to conduct common law searches. As a result, when an applicant fails to conduct a comprehensive search prior to filing for a trademark, you could wind up investing time and resources to register the trademark at the federal level, but that mark may still be infringing on a third party’s trademark rights at the common law level.

How Common Law Can Muck Up Your Mark

The United States adheres to a “first to use” trademark system, not a “first to file” system like many other countries. As a result, common law rights (i.e., use rights) are important and should not be neglected.

For example, if a third-party individual or company possesses senior common law rights, they may be able to initiate a proceeding with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to either oppose your pending trademark application or cancel the trademark registration altogether.

This can be particularly frustrating since the third-party individual or business with senior common law rights does not need to have filed or registered the mark. Rather, they simply must have used the mark in commerce before your application is filed.

As mentioned, it is extremely important for applicants to conduct common law searches in advance of filing a trademark application with the USPTO.

Increase in Trademark Applications

The Trademark Office has been experiencing a large surge of trademark applications in the past few years, largely due to the proliferation of e-commerce sites. For example, the USPTO received over 92,000 trademark applications in December 2020, which is an increase of 172 percent over December 2019.

As a result of this massive uptick in application filings, you need to be patient when filing your trademark application. Typically, pre-surge, it would take less than four months for an Examining Attorney to be assigned and to issue an Office Action. Nowadays, the wait time is between seven and eight months for a full review of a trademark application and issuance of an Office Action. Other delays have occurred with Responses to Offices Actions, review of Statements of Use, and post-registration review.

For example, post-registration processing, which prior to the Coronavirus pandemic, typically took around thirty days for review by an Examining Attorney, is taking between 60 and 90 days during the pandemic and surge in applications.
