Worth Noting
"A Copyright protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as photography, movies, songs, computer software, graphic design elements, and architecture. Trademarks protect, words, phrases, symbols, and/or designs that identify and distinguish the source of the goods or services of one party from those of another. So I like to think of them as SERVICE identifiers."
"You should trademark your business name or your brand name or your motto or your logo at any time that you feel your brand name has found itself to have a lot of notoriety and clout within your industry. And also if you just don't want other people to use your brand name."
"Filing a Trademark is a legal proceeding you HAVE to comply with all applicable U.S. Trademark laws and rules regarding and assuring your application is complete."
