Free Advice Fridays: what does a trademark registration do?
Friday, May 29th, 2009A Hypothetical Question from our Hypothetical Client:
I’m confused. What’s the difference between trademarking and copyrighting? I have a line of t-shirts, but I don’t know whether to apply for a trademark or register a copyright to protect them. If we apply for a trademark, will that protect all the designs on the t-shirts against knock-offs?
