Trademark vs Copyright Protection
Trademark and copyright registrations are both issued by the federal government and protect 2 distinct types of intellectual property:
A Trademark Process protects names, terms and symbols that are used to identify the source of goods and services on the market. In other words, a trademark is simply the consumer distinguish one company’s service from another that is exactly make a unique difference all over. Trademarks include brand names also.
For example “Coca-Cola” and images such as Nike’s famous “swoosh.” As the owner of a federally registered trademark can sue for trademark violation in federal court and prevent the importation of foreign goods that display your trademark.
A Copyright protects original creative works such as books, movies, songs, paintings, photographs, web content and choreography. As the owner of a federally registered copyright, can control how your work is reproduced, distributed and presented publicly, and you can sue infringes in federal court and prevent others from importing non compliance goods.
Briefly we can say that Trademark is like:
- Brand name of business,product,service
- Trademark must be registered State or Federal
- Examples are : Name,Logo,Slogan
Also Copyright is like :
- Legal right of a creator of “worship of authorship” to control the future use of work.
- Created at the time of ownership and can also be registered federally.
- Examples are : Images,Music,Books
