I have an idea for a t-shirt design. It's just a sentence. Is it possible to get a patent on it?

Question

Alright, I understand that it's a copyright, and its possible...But how do I go about doing so?

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible.

Answer 2

A patent is issued for an invention of unique design or a unique improvement on an existing product.

What you're looking for, to protect your idea, is called a copyright. That makes the phrase yours.

And yes, you can copyright a unique, identifiable phrase or sentence.

Answer 3

NO! Patents are for creative solutions or inventions or ideas.
All you can do is register a copyright on the design.
You can send it in a registered letter to yourself & don't open.
But then you have to sue whoever infringes by copying.
So it's basically not worth it unless you sell a million.

Answer 4

I think you mean copyright. And yes you can get a copyright on it.
You don't have to as long as you can show you are the original user of it, but a copyright helps that greatly.

Answer 5

you cannot patent a saying but you can patent a logo. It is just a matter of HOW you do it not What you do. By atent I mean a copyright as well same deal as far as infringement goes.

Answer 6

I believe patents are for inventions. Maybe try a copyright instead.

Answer 7

All you need to do to copyright anything is to say that you have done so. E.g., "Copyright (C) John Doe, 2007."
