How can I make money with it?
How does invention protection work?

Do you know what 'intellectual property' means? Are you aware that there are two categories of intellectual property? The nature of your invention will determine where it "fits" and how you need to proceed.

Do you know the difference between a patent and a copyright? What determines if a trademark design is distinctive enough to warrant registration? How can you ensure invention protection against third parties who may have ideas similar to your own?
