Trademarks and Copyrights
Protect your work, your business and domain name from infringement.
It's important to protect your intangible business assets: your business name, logos, and copyrightable materials.
Trademarks
Register Your Business Name or Logo
Trademark is another word for a brand name. Federal registration has several advantages, including:
- Notice to the public of the registrant's claim of ownership of the mark
- Legal presumption of ownership nationwide
- Exclusive right to use the mark on or in connection with goods or services set in registration
Our business filing experts can help explain the correct process to register a trademark.
Copyrights
Protect Your Works of Art
A copyright is a form of protection provided by U.S. laws to the authors of "original works of authorship", including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works. By registering your copyright, you can:
- Create a public record of your work and your copyright claim
- Sue for copyright infringement if somebody violates your copyright
Domain Names
Protect Your Business Name
Domain names are a form of intellectual property which entitles you to usage of that domain name. By purchasing a domain name, you can:
- Make it easy for customers to find your business online
- Discourage others from buying your business name in the ".com" or ".net" form
