Copyright and Trademark Policy
What are trademarks and copyrights?
Copyright protects original creations like movies, songs, books, and artwork.
A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design (for example: a brand name or logo) that a person or company uses to distinguish their products or services from those offered by others.
