Patents Expire But Trademarks Can Last Forever; Wolf Greenfield, January 2023

Jason Balich, Wolf Greenfield; Patents Expire But Trademarks Can Last Forever

"So, the next time you are looking to protect a good or service, don't just limit yourself to contemplating patent protection. These days, utility patents have a 20-year term from the filing date of the application and design patents have a 15-year term from date of grant. In contrast, trademarks can last forever."
