In Response To: Re: Patent vs Trade Mark (Nick Schade - Guillemot Kayaks)

Being able to call your thing a thing is no trifle. Anybody can make anything. I can invent a widget, somebody can buy it, laser scan it, and start making them on their own, but if I have built a brand through marketing a trademarked product I am the only one who can call it what I call it. So- as you say- Trademarks are important, and easier to enforce. If they infringe your patent at least you can call it by your trademarked name until the patent issues work themselves out and the customers you have worked to win over can identify your products from competing ones.
