Q. How do I get a Patent, Trademark,
or Copyright on my idea?
A. To have an idea legally protected by a patent, trademark,
or copyright the first thing that should be done is to contact
the Intellectual Property Agency, or Authority established
in your territory. The 'IP Verification' is a red button
located below the main tool bar on our home page and is
visible from every page. This button provides a list of
direct links to the Internet home pages of Intellectual
Property Agencies and Authorities established in various
areas of the world. Clicking on the home page of the authority
in your territory will enable you to access the appropriate
contact information for that particular filing agency. The
designated authorities in your area will be able to describe
the type of legal protection needed for your particular
territory and project, and best direct you toward the type
of assistance necessary for your situation.
To have an idea covered by a patent or trademark, you will
most likely need to locate a patent agent, or patent attorney
to find out exactly how to go about the process. You can
locate a professional near you by clicking on our 'IP Services'
button located on the left side of the home page. You can
scroll through the list of IP Service Providers until you
make a selection. You should always check with the credentials
of the person that you have selected to work with before
you decide to give them your business. The links contained
in the 'IP Verification' can be used to verify if someone
is a registered practitioner, in addition to providing the
contact information to the filing agency in your area. A
quick phone call or e-mail to one of these professionals,
or agencies can provide you with some very basic information
as to how to begin the legal protection process.

What listing information is contained
in the 'Patent', 'Trademark', & 'Copyright' Ads?
The 'Patent,' 'Trademark,' and 'Copyright' ads are uniquely
designed, single listing advertise slots purchased by intellectual
property owners who would like to display their work on-line
to a global audience. The IP-Exchange order forms are structured
in a way that will enable the seller to secure a buyout,
licensing agreement, cross licensing agreement, or even
trade their intellectual property. These ads are ideal for
any private inventor, development team, company, firm, or
anyone else that would like to secure a deal on their existing
intellectual property assets.
The main goal of The IP-Exchange is to equip our clients
will all of the tools necessary to secure a quick, and simple
on-line deal. We pride ourselves on our patent pending business
methods and features that help make this possible. As a
convenience to you, one of our unique on-line features available
in our single listing ads will enable you to display and
print an entire legal contract for the intellectual property
that you are listing. In addition, by simply placing the
desired information into the proper fields on the order
form, the exchange system will automatically format 'Portfolio
Services,' as well as the additional featured services.
The single listing IP ads will vary in posting duration
dependent upon the length of listing time purchased by the
seller.
The single listing intellectual property information that
is to be posted must be placed on one, single order form
per single Patent, Trademark, or Copyright listing. Any
attempt to place more than one issued work on a single application
order form will be discarded without refund. For example,
if one inventor wants to post two similar inventions that
possess different patent numbers, that inventor would need
to complete two separate order forms, and purchase two separate
ads. Another example would be that if an inventor has a
hardware invention that is patented, but that patented invention
contains software that is copyrighted, and the inventor
would like to sell the patent and copyright separately;
the information would be placed on two separate order forms,
and charged as two separate ads.
Please note, that it is permissible to include software
that is integrated within an invention into a patent deal,
however this must be indicated in section E. Transaction
Information, by placing notation in the box for 'Sellers
Comments.' The general rule to follow is one issued work
type, (Patent, Trademark, or Copyright) per listing, unless
included within the sale of an issued work. The copyright
sale of a particular volume, or a series, can be placed
on a single ad, but can only be sold separately on separate
advertisement listings. If you should have any questions
regarding this practice, please feel free to contact us
before making a listing decision.
