Do I need a patent or a trademark?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by David Scott Safran (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Patents
Trademarks cover only the name of the game, not the game itself. If you want to protect the game itself, a patent would be what you would need. If you decide to proceed, I suggest that you contact a patent attorney to assist you.
