What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark?
Answer
Trademarks are designed to protect a company’s branding, which means that it is geared towards things that distinguish one brand from another. This can include things like logos, names, or other distinguishing marks. Trademarks must be used continually, but as long as they are, they can exist in perpetuity.
Copyright instead is geared towards creative works. These may include things that a company or an individual produces that do not distinguish it from competitors. It is possible for a company to have both copyrighted materials and trademarks.
