advantages and disadvantages of being protected by copyright, trademark and patents?
i need to do a business presentation informing potential inventors and innovators and i have to list the advantages and disadvantages of patents, copyright and trademarks. i have endlessly searched the internet but cannot find anything anywhere? help?
copyrights are free and automatic (after 1989). but they only cover the "expression of an idea", not the idea itself. functional aspects of an artistic sculpture are not protected by copyright. they will eventually expire. they are international (bern convention, etc). there are criminal sanctions available against people who make a profit or steal your profit by infringing copyright. also statutory damages. it is somewhat difficult to determine exactly what is the status of a copyright unless you know when it was first created, who the author is, when it was published, where it was published, the nationality of the author, when or if the author died, whether the work was published with necessary formalities (prior to 1989), etc.

patents are expensive and only issued after examination, which can take years. they protect inventions including machines, chemical compositions, processes, etc. other types of patents protect ornamental designs or certain plants. patents last only a couple of decades and are difficult and expensive to protect. however, they prevent anyone from making, using, selling or importing your invention in any country where you have obtained and maintained a valid patent. to sue on a patent you must have an issued patent in the country where the alleged infringement occurred. just filing patent applications in twenty countries may cost over $100,000. then there are prosecution fees, issuance fees, annual maintenance fees, etc. enforcing a patent in a us federal court will cost upwards of a million dollars.

trademarks (in the usa) are automatic from the first use in commerce. however, your protection is only limited to your local use and for the present goods and serviices to which you attach your brand. you can optionally register you brand in any state, but most valuable brands are registered in the us patent and trademark office, meaning more paperwork and fees. however, the issued registration can be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark anywhere in the usa, and any countries named in your madrid protocol international protection application (more fees), pertaining to the classifications of goods or services you have registered. common law trademark protections (lanham act) last as long as you continue to use your trademark. registrations expire if you do not maintain them.

some works are protected by patents, copyrights and trademarks simultaneously. like a nike shoe" the functions and ornamental designs (and maybe the tread) are patented, the nike name and logo are trademarks, and any photos, descriptions, advertising, video, etc describing or showing them. are copyrighted.
there are a lot of people who may be aware of what private and public means. when you say private, this can be a sector that is owned by someone in particular. a private business is something that is controlled by certain good question. they sometimes say one man's junk is another man's treasure! feel free to check out www.markitx.com - we're creating a transparent secondary it market for enterprises to buy, sell and trade their used hardware. if you have questions you can always pm me! brand ­ intangible asset lecture 6 3/6/17 ­ one benefit of a strong brand is that brand equity decays slowly, and helps a  business withstand and recover from its mistakes. ­ brand > product ­ trying to create value that speaks to consumers brand architecture lecture 7 3/8/17 ­ house of brand, branded house, hybrid ­ strategic priorities ▯ strategic brand ­ the future ▯ distinguisher brand ­ enhances the differentiation of another brand —> makes the  parent company interesting ▯ cash cow ­ generates a lot of cash but not a lot fo room to grow ▯ corporate brand ­ may have low visibility to customers, but important to regulatory  bodies, investors, employees, trade groups, partners ▯ fighter/flanker brand ­ insulate the brand from price competition I'm currently writing a Markdown powered CMS, which adheres to [Commonmark](http://commonmark.org). Their [help page](http://commonmark.org/help/) is quick, easy and to-the-point. What you are looking to do is possible but would need careful consideration of issues associated with ownership of intellectual property, access to technical data like source code, confidentiality requirements that would survive the joint venture if it does not work out. It is not possible to provide proper advise for all the pieces that need to be evaluated and carefully handled in the agreement without proper understanding of the software involved and the specific goals of the parties. You would also need to come up with some metrics to measure the acceptable level of performance from both the parties to avoid the blame game and competing claims if the venture is not successful. I would advise contacting a business lawyer who can help you analyze the various issues and pitfalls as well as draft an agreement for you to protect your interests that allows you to do what you would like to attain with the joint venture. hello thanks for your query

this is moreover a personal query so you have to tell your parents whats your passion is and try to convince them or who knows they might ask you to do what your interested tell the advantages of clat to your parents.

thank you header, footer and other page attributes are stored against “sections” and not individual pages. each section can be one page, several pages or the entire document. inserting a manual page break starts a new section. i am new to libreo and was also frustrated by its behaviour till the penny dropped … apple: top few most valuable companies in the world. amazing products. doing interesting work in several fields. could stop selling product for years and still be solvent.alipay: rapid growth, large but niche market. chinese owned. pre ipo so your options are worthless. about ready to ipo so probably really diluted too.lyft: lower comp, smaller and niche market. dependent on gig workers to provide labor. long term outlook?really depends on what you want, but unless one of the others really interests you for some reason, go with apple for a while. probably better comp, looks great on resume. the cme group has education courses that cover most everything about the products they carry. i don’t want to make a mistake and give you bad information. here is a link to their site and there is a video on this page that goes over margins.
