Q: If I have a one of a kind bath toy manufactured will it be hard to obtain a patent
A:
Whether it will be hard or easy to obtain a patent on a one of a kind bath toy will depend on how new it is. If the bath toy has some insignificant modifications from other bath toys, or is just a combination of other bath toys, then it will be difficult to get a patent.
You should seek out a patent attorney for guidance.

A: It really depends on what your toy looks like and how new and unique it is. You may be able to cover the functionality of the toy by means of a utility patent and protect the look and feel of the toy by means of a design patent. You should definitely seek patent legal counsel for this.
