Who may apply fora Patent
Only an inventor may apply fora patent. If an inventor dies before making an application, the executor or legal administrator of the estate can file fora patent on behalf of the deceased to protect the interests of heirs. If a person is insane or incapable, a guardian may file for the inventor. When two or more persons have a joint interest, the patent must be filed in all names of parties as joint inventors.

Patent Process
TRADEMARKS
“A trademark includes any word, name, symbol or distinguishing device, or any combination thereof adopted and used by a manufacturer or merchant to identify his goods and distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others A logo not actually used in trade maybe denied registration, and one that was registered but not of use for an extended period of time may lose registration protection. A trademark is granted fora period of 20 years. It can be renewed for an additional 20 years as long as it has not become generic, and as long as it has remained in continuous use. A service mark is similar to a trademark and can be registered in the same way with the same protection. A service mark can be a name, wording used in advertising, symbols or artistic figures that create a distinctive service concept e.g. IBM.
