Thanks in Advance.

Although more details would be required about your invention, essentially you will look to file a patent for your product. Under sub-clauses of Section 2 of the Patent Act of 1970, it needs to be a distinct, novel and non-obvious idea capable of industrial application. Check Sections 3 and 4 to ensure your invention does not fall under non-patentable subject matter. You could also copyright or file for a trademark for certain artistic elements of your card game.

Dear Sir,
You would need to file for a patent as the card game is your innovation and you could also file for a trademark to protect the packaging and the artistic element to it. It would be advisable for you to move fast on this as it is always preferred that no one beats you to the registration. Do contact me if you need any legal assistance.
