I live in the United States.
I was wondering... how much is the general cost to patent a specific character design?
Can I do it all by myself, or do I have to go to a front desk counter and get my design patented by them? I heard that they have to go through many checks to make sure the design does not match another person's.
I was hoping to get the following patents:
Registered (Creature Design)
Trademark (Creature Species Name)
I have 2 creature designs that are original that I would like to patent.
Hopefully, no one else has beat me to the punch.
I went to copyright.gov and looked around, but didn't find exactly what I was after.
Could anyone help? Do I have to actually go to court and get the patent there?
And... how much would this cost, in estimate, in total?
Thanks.
