Is Trivial Pursuit Patented? No – Copyright & Trademark Protect It

Unlikely. Here's the IP breakdown:

• Patents protect inventions/mechanisms – not game concepts or rules.
• Copyright covers the specific board artwork, card text, rulebook wording, and question database.
• Trademark protects the name "Trivial Pursuit" and logo for commercial use.

So while the game itself isn't patented, its expressive elements are copyrighted and its brand is trademarked.
