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.
