Patent law does not clearly consider them among the objects that can be protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, the evidence of the facts reminds us that the board game is by its very nature a creative work that has the same rights as any other work to be protected. To do so, it is necessary to resort to some &#8220;little tricks&#8221;, or rather, certain considerations.

They are all at the base of the game&#8217;s purpose: fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Character descriptions, a possible board, manuals, spells and witchcraft, objects, bestiaries and any other literary work, as well as 3D projects of the &#8220;action figures&#8221; of the characters, can be treated as such and registered on Safecreative.org using the rights statements available there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is understood that the latter&#8217;s projects may always be registered with Safe Creative as creative works in their respective categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For tools and any other object essential to the dynamics of the game, it will be possible to file a patent with the Territorial Office. These are the best options to safeguard your creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same approach should also be taken for the name and logo that will distinguish our role-playing game. However, if the logo is also an image, it can be registered at Safe Creative as an image as long as it is original and creative.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no specific rule for registering role and board games: it may even seem that they have no protection at all.
