Default Tradmark or Copyright????
Old 04-17-2007, 11:34 PM   #1 (permalink)

I need some help! Ok, I started selling little buttons & magnets with my logo on them. I am affraid that someone is going to start using my logo for their stuff.

How do I get it copyrighted or trademarked? I have tried to read the government sites about it, but they are way too confusing.

Has anyone gone through this before?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I looked at trademarks and they start at $275, but does that cover my logo or just the name ndn chick?

I was reading that site. So I can copyright my logo for $45 instead of trademarking it for $250 +++???


I think I'll e-mail them today and bug them for a bit.

Copyrights are for printed material, books, patterns, music, etc.
Logo's, like Coke are Trademarked.
