What Is Copyright Your Business Name?

[davidclone]

Understanding whether you can copyright your business name is important before building your brand. In most cases, you cannot copyright your business name because copyright protects original creative works, not names or short phrases. Instead, a trademark is the proper legal protection for a business name and brand identity. Registering a trademark helps prevent others from using a confusingly similar name in your industry. Knowing the difference between copyright and trademarks can save time and protect your business effectively.
