In this video, Berklee Online course author Dr. E. Michael Harrington discusses copyrights, trademarks, and patents and how they are all different. Patents last for a shorter amount of time than copyrights, but they are very powerful. While trademarks work well, be sure to research other trademarks to make sure elements like your color scheme and logo aren’t too similar to another trademark.

This was helpful because you gave examples too, rather than just defining each like other videos have done. My question would be can you copyright a logo and trademark it? Or if your first file to copyright a logo so you protect your art, can you later trademark it also if it has your business name in the logo?
Thank u sir for giving to most knowledge about intucaul properties
🙏😍😍
Thank you!!!
Informative.
I no longer care about that, I have had a few ideals and with in a year or Two I seen them done, now I always was like how? So I decided not to let it drive me insane and just post it. So I can explain to myself how you would have the same ideal.
So let's say that someone has registered Moto Madness Apparel and also owns a coffee company called High Voltage Coffee Co. If I wanted to start a coffee company called Moto Madness Coffee Co. -- could this be infringing on their trademark?
(I used fake names here to protect my idea).
$290? That would be nice. Everything I've seen is it costs anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 for an attorney.
Hi there... if I created a concept book for a healing purpose, would a copyright be the best and only option? Is it unreasonable to have a way where others couldn't create something similar?
I'm not exactly sure what your vision is for this "concept book for a healing purpose," but generally speaking, books are protected under copyright law (and not patent or trademarks). Incidentally, you obtain copyright protection simply by fixing your creative output in a "tangible medium of expression" such as a printed page or even a digital file. No registration is needed to obtain a valid copyright (though under American law, registration enhances the damages you are able to collect in court from infringers).
Facts, ideas, concepts and procedures are not by themselves capable of having copyright protection. Only the specific ways in which they are expressed or described are. So if you come up with a totally new concept for healing yourself or others, you cannot stop others from explaining that concept in their own books. What copyright law protects is the way you express or describe it, so you could go after those who plagiarize sections of your book. Nobody can own an entire genre, so it's not possible to prevent others from creating something similar, as long as their healing book is an original expression in their own words and doesn't plagiarize yours. I hope this has made sense.
Thank you much
I'm glad you liked it!
I can hear your Boston ❤️
Lol "trade-mahks"
Can a Mission Statement be copyrighted ?
Mission statements are generally copyrighted. It doesn't take much to satisfy the relatively low threshold of originality and creative expression required for copyright to exist. A short phrase usually doesn't contain enough creative expression, but the paragraph or two expressing a mission statement generally does.
And you need a patent from each Nation in the world.
But isn't a 'trade mark' already a 'copyright'
