Trademark vs Copyright: Differences, Examples, and Costs

  • 9 min read

Trademark vs copyright comes down to what you need to protect. A trademark identifies the source of goods or services, while copyright protects original creative expression fixed in a tangible form.

Flat illustration of two shields protecting brand identifiers and creative works to represent trademark vs copyright.

Key Takeaways

  • Trademarks protect names, logos, slogans, and other identifiers that distinguish the source of goods or services.
  • Copyright protects original expression, including writing, photographs, videos, music, artwork, and software code.
  • Copyright generally arises automatically when a qualifying work is created and fixed. Trademark rights may arise through use, but federal registration provides broader benefits.

  • Some classes may cover unexpected items (e.g., cosmetics and cleaning supplies share Class 3).
  • Classification is internationally harmonized, but each jurisdiction may apply it slightly differently.
