Hello People. I would like to know some things about intellectual property of game of poker.. Is the game of poker(for example No limit texas holdem) protected by some trademark(or is it public property)? If I want to create some game that is allmost close to poker game but has some differences- can I protect it as a trademark(intellectual propery). And if yes, where can I do that? So, If yes,.. does that means that every poker room that is going to have »my poker game« will have to pay me money? I have done some reseraches but do not know for sure(it is very blur line). I do not want to go in details of the game I am thinking, but hopefully I gave you enough information to help me with answer. I Will appriciate all the help I can get from you people. Thank you.

As far as I know you can not unless you make a table game and can license the design of the table.

you should decide for you what you want: international or national copyright, only after this you can find the agency where you can register your intellectual property.
One simple advice from me: write your idea to the letter /detailed/ and send it to you by official air mail and don't open it.

Thank you A7472909p for reply. Yes, i know poker has been played for alot of years. But If i make it "better" I think I can protect "my game" - inovation.
