Patenting a Superior Trading System

Quote from Bob111:

then you should know how the patent works. it's a lengthy and fairly expensive process that would protect your "know how" in country where you filed. for 20 years(USA). as been mentioned above-it will not protect you,from me,doing same thing either from my basement in USA or someone else, doing same from China. if you making 50% YTD then imo you don't need any marketing. just like another ET poster in my link in previous post-you would own all the money in the world just in few years. just keep compounding. why do you need any marketing?

My returns speak for themselves. But the smart money wants bells and whistles along with great returns.

Looks like I will be trademarking the name instead of filing a patent. I didn't really know the difference between both, and I'm sure most Hedge Fund managers out there wouldn't know much about patent filing either.
 
I am the manager of a small baseball team. I have developed a Secret Proprietary Drafting System, what I can use for taking advantage of undiscovered (and lowly priced) talent when drafting new players. So we get more bang for our bucks and be able to compete against richer teams.

I would like to patent this system, so no other team could use it, thus I can keep my edge. Any help would be appreciated...

P.S.: If you own a team in Boston this time your 12 million bucks offer will be accepted....

Yeah.. I understand where you are getting at.

But, I never wanted to reveal the inner workings of the system to anyone. I just wanted to trademark the name for marketing purposes.

Why do you want or need to market something that works so incredibly well?

But, I want to keep it as private information and use it as a marketing device for my money management firm. What exactly should I do, in terms of patents and trademarking etc to be able to use some of the system (the name and the summary of what it does) in my marketing for my investment firm.

Any thoughts or insights on this would be greatly appreciated.

So you are asking us if you can trademark a name? Of course, you can.

But you can't trademark a trading strategy, a baseball drafting strategy or a football offensive strategy. End of thread....
