Intellectual Property Laws in Wyoming.

Core intellectual-property rights — patents, federal trademarks, and copyrights — are governed by federal law and are enforced exclusively (patents and copyrights) or primarily (federal trademarks) in federal court. Patent and copyright claims for Wyoming-centered disputes are filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming. Wyoming state law adds the Wyoming Uniform Trade Secrets Act (Wyo. Stat. § 40-24) and state-level trademark registration (Wyo. Stat. § 40-1).
