Business methods are patentable and searchable on the USPTO's website. But there are several problems with it:
1) If a new business method is patented, how can one enforce it if the patent holder has limited financial resources.
2) It appears to be difficult to research if a new business idea is infriniging on an existing patent.
The bottom line is: how can one protect a new business idea?
How I can protect my new business model and concept?
registrate it legally
Reply:It is not possible to protect ideas but rather the representation of that idea. Without knowing further, it's hard to say what would be your best route. Here's some information on the different branches of intellectual property -- after reading, you'll probably be able to decide what the best route is...
PATENTS:
To protect an original invention OR a significant improvement to an existing product, a patent would be filed. Here's the USPTO's definition: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/doc...
TRADEMARKS:
Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry.
COPYRIGHTS:
Copyrights can be obtained for things of an artistic nature. This includes, of course, poetry, films, sculptures, music, fiction, etc. But can also include things that may not necessarily seem "artistic" in the general sense of the word. Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few.
