Locarno Agreement Establishing an International Classification for Industrial Designs

Definition:
The Locarno Agreement establishes an international classification system for industrial designs which consists of 32 classes and 223 subclasses based on different types of products.

Trade Name

Definition:
A symbol used to identify and distinguish companies, partnerships, and businesses, as opposed to marks used to identify and distinguish goods or services.

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.

Watch List

Definition:
Official U.S. designation that describes the level of intellectual property problems in a given country; countries having some intellectual property problems -- but not serious enough to be placed on the "Priority Watch List".

License

Definition:
A permission to use an intellectual property right, under defined conditions -- as to time, context, market line, or territory. In intellectual property law, important distinctions exist between "exclusive licenses" and "nonexclusive licenses."

Certification Mark

Definition:
Any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, used, or intended to be used, in commerce by someone other than its owner, to certify regional or other origin, material, mode of manufacture, quality, accuracy, or other characteristics of such person's goods or services.
