I have a question , and maybe you're more expert about this argument...
If some one get an idea about a New Gambling game, it can be "patented"?  If yes how it can be done?

Just as E.G. "fantasy-football" how to protect the idea of a game like this? just with trademark?


I don't think you would be able to protect your new gambling idea and game. The only advantage is that you will be first to introduce that gambling idea and if it is interesting, you can make good profit from it.  Even if you patent it, other gambling casino will copy the idea and come up with the same thing but with another name.

As in the above quote one can go apply for patent with the respective bureau organised by every country with specific terms and conditions. I don't think it can be patented with the purpose of gambling. Maybe a game can be innovated and patented. This patented game can be further used into gambling.

Of course, you may apply a patent for it. I don't know where you're from but there must be a local patent bureau which is designated to accept applications for protection of their intellectual properties by way of a patent.

Please be reminded, though, that patents expire after a couple of decades more or less. Moreover, a patent is different from a trademark. A patent in this regard is to be applied for your newly-invented game but the trademark could be applied for the name of your app or your site or your brand which might launch that game in the future.

Not every gambling game can be patented I tried to Google some information but there are few keywords that can solve the queries
if this is online gaming or gambling it should have something that addresses the solution of specific technical problems  

Quote
All applications that include technical aspects are patentable only if they are new and put forward an innovative solution/idea. This means that inventions that have to do with computer programs must have a technical character so they can be patented. If they are using technical means to address the solution of a specific technical problem, then these computer programs are considered patentable

There is a word of notice also

Word of Notice: Patents in the online gambling industry can be used to protect some elements. However, one of the main issues for the majority of developers is piracy and the fact that some other elements of their creations can be easily replicated without anyone facing any consequences. It is amazing how small changes in a handful of elements can allow a developer to use the same theme and features under a different name.

So with this they can replicated it without any legal issues.

Aside from that, to clarify also your questions not answered by online sources, you can visit or call your local Patent Office.
They can explain more of what to do specific with your case. But don't forget to contact a Patent Attorney from your area.
Yes, there is dedicated lawyer for that, so basically it is easy to communicate with them with what you want because that's their specialization.
If you are having difficulty in finding one, you can contact your local Patent Office and ask for assistance. Without a doubt, they have contacts for those lawyers.

It'd probably be better if you asked someone that was in the field of the law, anyone, that you know to guarantee it's legit and true. Especially since introducing a patent for a new game needs a lot of crossing of information since it needs to check if you're game infringes on the copyright of other games and if a lawsuit was filed, then you'd probably have a huge burden in your hands.

You could probably follow the normal steps in applying for a patent, looked it up, and found this:

After that, you can consult a person in the legal field to ensure you're not really missing anything. Also, it seems like patenting costs quite a bit of money, A new invention of a card game can rangge from $5000 to $12000. Might not be a useful reference though since it is a card game, but well, it's an example. Found it here:

You can of course patent it and you should do so, if you think it's a great new game/style. As a single, private person it won't be easy to stop people from copying it and you would have to have some money at hand to pay lawyers etc., but legally you can sue and stop them. I guess you will spend a lot of time in court though, if it's some revolutionary new game Cheesy

For a start I would go to a patent office and apply for it and I would suggest an international/world-wide patent for this matter. And maybe some lawyer to help you with the paperwork Smiley
