Copyright Basics for Illinois Creators
Copyright is purely federal — registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, enforced through federal district courts. Illinois infringement cases are filed in U.S. District Courts for the Northern.
Fair Use of Copyrighted Material in Illinois
Illinois creators using copyrighted material need fair-use analysis — four-factor test (purpose, nature, amount, market effect) determines whether use is lawful without permission.
Patents Overview for Illinois Inventors
Patents are entirely federal — granted by the USPTO and litigated in federal district court. Illinois infringement actions are filed in U.S. District Courts for the Northern.
Trademark Registration in Illinois
Trademark protection in Illinois comes from THREE sources: federal registration with the USPTO, state registration with the Illinois Secretary of State (~$10 (filing) + $5 per class, every 5 years), and common-law rights from actual use.
Trade Secret Protection in Illinois
Illinois trade secrets are protected under both state Uniform Trade Secrets Act (UTSA) and federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA, 2016). No registration required — but reasonable secrecy efforts are.

Do I need a lawyer to file a trademark?

You can file on your own, but a lawyer can search for conflicts and draft the application to avoid rejections that cost time and fees.

Patent, trademark or copyright — which do I need?
