Hi guys,

I am a self employed jeweller and I am looking into creating a patent for my design. I am aware of the rules and regulations but I have just read on the GOV website that..."If you’re self-employed, you usually own the intellectual property even if your work was commissioned by someone else - unless your contract with them gives them the rights."

Has anyone trademarked their work, or can advise me on why I wouldn't trademark my work as self employed this to me still allows for others to copy my idea.

I hope someone can help

Thank you
Millie
