Intellectual Property

Trademarks

Protect brands when they function as a source identifier. Registering your trademark on a federal level provides your brand with nationwide protection.

Copyright

Protects “original works of authorship” in a fixed form. Registering your copyright on a federal level provides notice of your rights in the work as the author and can help deter a copycat.

A trademark is a source identifier. It helps a consumer associate a good or service with a brand or a business. A trademark can be, but is not limited to, a word, logo, color, or slogan.

What is the difference between the symbols ™ and ®?

The ™ symbol (or ℠ symbol) indicates that the unregistered mark has been adopted by a brand in connection with its goods or services.
