Hi Richard,
Trademarkyes for logos. Apologies if it was a bit of a stretch.
One "trick" is to embed the product design a part of the logo or name,
then the trademark covers both. Like I said though, it's not that

Hello Rich,
Welcome to the group!
You can patent just about anything, but that doesn't necessarily
protect you. Example: a very large aerospace company received a
patent for *every* wireless transmission in space, to discourage
development in wireless subsystems. Completely worthless to them,
