According to the law, a patent is: any creative idea developed by the inventor in any of the technical fields, relating to a product, a method of manufacture, or both, that solves a specific problem in any of these fields.
Patent registration refers to all procedures related to patent applications submitted to the office, starting from the stage where inventors are guided on how to submit the patent application until the final issuance of the patent certificate.
These procedures involve a series of technical and formal processes related to examining the application to ensure it meets all the conditions specified by law, as well as processes linked to patent applications that are carried out to meet the needs of third parties (the public, excluding applicants, agents, and inventors), such as publication in the official gazette or procedures for inspecting the registry.
As for the trademark, it is any visible sign used or intended to be used by any person to distinguish their goods, products, or services from the goods, products, or services of others. (Petra)
