Intro:
Many businesses confuse trademarks with copyrights, risking improper protection of their creative and commercial assets. Understanding the distinction is key to safeguarding your brand.
Trademark:
- Protects brand names, logos, slogans
- Registered under the Trade Marks Act, 1999
- Prevents market confusion and misuse
Copyright:
- Protects original literary, artistic, and software works
- Comes into effect automatically but registration helps in enforcement
- Covers usage, reproduction, and licensing rights
Conclusion:
Whether you’re launching a product or developing software, understanding the right form of IP protection is essential. GentiumLex offers end-to-end support for registering, protecting, and enforcing your IP rights.
