Trademark & Copyright

Trademark:

Trademarks are a type of intellectual property that is used to identify and distinguish one source of goods from another and make it easier for a consumer to quickly discern who has produced a particular product or object.  Trademarks are usually words, phrases, symbols, designs, or a combination of these, that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.

Copyright:

A copyright protects an original artistic or literary work by securing for a limited time for an author, composer, playwright, publisher, or distributor to exclusive publication, production, sale, or distribution of such work. Like a patent, copyright is also an exclusionary right for the copyright holder.

What is the benefit of copyright registration?

One key advantage is that prompt registration can provide significant advantages when infringement arises. In order to sue for copyright infringement, registration is required to file a copyright infringement lawsuit. In an infringement suit, a copyright owner must establish ownership of a valid copyright and copying of the original elements of the copyright. In addition, owners of a registered copyright are granted additional legal protection, such as the ability to sue for higher damages and to recover attorney's fees in litigation.
