Copyright Logo

The first thing is very important to know about copyrighting is whether or not your need an actual copyright or a patent or even a trademark. Before your go to all of the work to get one, make sure that it is the right one. A copyright is something that is an original to you that falls under the category of artwork, music, or written works. This means that if you draw a logo for your business, a copyright is the right thing to apply for. If you come up with a catchy and brand slogan, a copyright would be the right thing as well. Your business can also be copyrighted as long as it was written especially for your business.

Logos may be protected under copyright as artistic works and several trade marks may therefore also be copyright works. This is even possible for copyright protection to exist where a logo consists only of a name or a group of letters, which are arranged in such a way as to give some form of 'artistic' impression. There will be no copyright protection, unless the artistic work is original. Copyright may be used to prevent someone from making a copy of a logo putting the logo on advertising for goods and services. But trade mark protection is possibly worth obtaining where a logo is to be used in connection with services and goods.

  2. When it comes time to protect a trademark, the question elect to file a request for the word mark or brand with graphic elements often arises. Most of the trademarks used on the market include words and graphics.
