Hi Everyone,
Im a food scientist and I've spent many years developing testing methodologies for a specific industry. We regularly conduct training seminars for both industry professionals and the overall public.
My question is:
Is there any way I can possibly "trademark" my training materials/methods that we use. Im NOT trying to seek protection for the actual content of my material as its based on readily available scientific disciplines (chemistry/biology). I am however looking for a way to protect the way it is "expressed/implemented" in delivering educational concepts.
It would seem unfair that I can develop a testing methodology/protocol - have my competitor take my seminar (unknowingly) and have them completely copy the methods we developed in theirs.
Im pretty sure this would fall under some sort of "trademark/copyright" umbrella, but I just wanted to be sure.
Thanks
