If you have recently filed an "intent to use" application for a mark or logo in connection with your business, it may be time to file a Statement of Use. But what exactly is a statement of use?

While some argue that a patent may protect their invention, others believe that hiding it is more effective.
For example, in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the telephone under Patent No. 174,465.
According to the Harvard Business Review, Bell?s patent is now the most valuable in history.
Compare that to ten years later, when Dr. John Pemberton decided to forgo a patent and instead create what would become the world?s most famous trade secret: the Coca-Cola formula.
Dr. Pemberton knew that creating a patent would only give his company twenty years of exclusive rights to their formula.
