Sometimes Patent and Trademark are used interchangeably. And find it difficult to tell the difference between the two.
Patent confers a right to the inventor to “exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” the invention in the United States or “importing” the invention into the United States. A trademark, on the other hand, is a word, name, symbol, or device that is used in trade with goods to indicate the source of the goods and to distinguish them from the goods of others. Trademark rights may be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark, but not to prevent others from making the same goods or from selling the same goods or services under a clearly different mark.

To be patentable, an invention essentially must meet the following requirements set by Patent and Trademark which are: (1) useful, (2) novel, and (3) non-obvious. The novelty requirement of Patent and Trademark is often consider the entry test for patentability. The probably more demanding, non-obviousness requirement is harder to objectively define. The typical way that an examiner in Patent and Trademark shows obviousness is to cite a number of prior art references that, when combined as suggested by possibly another prior art reference, contain all of the elements of the applicant’s invention.
