Texas registrations expire after 5 years unless the registrant submits a renewal to our office during the last 6 months of the 5-year registration period. A mark must still be in use at the time of the renewal. See Form 902. Owners of registered marks are responsible for enforcing their rights to their marks.

You can have both a trademark and a patent, though they won't be for exactly the same thing. A trademark can protect a creation's name, for example, and a patent can protect the actual creation itself.

Under the “first to file” system, there exists no value in obtaining a Poor Man's Patent since it now only matters who filed for the patent first and not who came up with the idea first. Essentially, a Poor Man's Patent has about as much value today as the postage affixed to the envelope.
Patents are only issued for inventions, ornamental designs of goods, or plants, not names. To protect your brand name and logo, you will need to utilize the trademark registration service.
Key Differences of Patents and Trademarks Purpose: Patents protect inventions, while trademarks protect brand names, logos, and other identifying factors. Granting Authority: The government grants patents to inventors, while businesses use trademarks to identify and distinguish their goods or services.
