Trademark

A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, and/or design that identifies and distinguishes the source of the goods of one party from those of others.
A trademark typically protects brand names and logos used on goods and services.
“TM” symbol can be used for unregistered trademarks (which could include trademarks under state law and/or trademarks for which a federal registration application has been filed but not yet granted). It is unlawful to use the (R) symbol unless one is having registered trademark in the US.

Selection of Good Trademark :

It is advisable to use word as trademark as it is easy to speak, spell and remember. One can use invented words or coined words or unique geometrical designs.
geographical name, common personal name or surname should be avoided as no one can have monopoly right on it.

Function of a Trademark:

  •  It helps us to identify the goods / or services and its origin.
  • It guarantees its unchanged quality.
  • It advertises the goods/services.
  • It creates an image for the goods/ services.

Benefits of registering a trademark

The registration of a trademark confers upon the owner the exclusive right to use the trademark in relation to the goods or services in respect of which the mark is registered and to indicate so by using the symbol (R), and seek the relief of infringement in appropriate courts in the country. The exclusive right is however subject to any conditions entered on the register such as limitation of area of use etc. Also, where two or more persons have registered identical or nearly similar marks due to special circumstances, such exclusive right does not operate against each other.

Copyright

Copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country that grants the creator of an original work exclusive rights for its use and distribution. i.e it protects an original artistic or literary work.
This is usually only for a limited time. A major limitation on copyright is that copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, and not the underlying ideas themselves.
Copyright is a form of intellectual property, applicable to certain forms of creative work. It is often shared among multiple authors, each of whom holds a set of rights to use or license the work, and who are commonly referred to as rightsholders. These rights frequently include reproduction, control over derivative works, distribution, public performance, and “moral rights” such as attribution.
Copyrights are considered territorial rights, which means that they do not extend beyond the territory of a specific jurisdiction. While many aspects of national copyright laws have been standardized through international copyright agreements. Copyright laws vary by country.
Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots or factual information. Copyright does not protect ideas or concepts. To get the protection of copyright a work must be original.
