Patent Cooperation Treaty
Definition:

Patent
Definition:
In the United States, a grant by the federal government to an inventor of the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention. There are three very different kinds of patents in the United States: a utility patent on the functional aspects of products and processes; a design patent on the ornamental design of useful objects; and a plant patent on a new variety of living plant. Patents do not protect "ideas," only structures and methods that apply technological concepts. In return for receiving the right to exclude others from a precisely defined scope of technology, industrial design, or plant variety, which is the gist of a patent, the inventor must fully disclose the details of the invention to the public.
Secondary Meaning
Definition:
A meaning for a trademark or service mark that customers associate with a particular brand of products or services. For trade symbols that are not inherently distinctive, distinctiveness must be acquired in order to be protected by a trademark or service mark.
