1. Core Differences Between Copyright and Trademark
While both are forms of intellectual property, trademarks and copyrights protect fundamentally different assets:
- Trademarks: Protect identifiers used in commerce to denote the source of goods or services (e.g., brand names, logos, taglines, shapes, packaging).
- Copyrights: Protect original creative expressions of authorship fixed in a tangible medium (e.g., books, source code, artwork, music, videos, photos, copywriting).
