I thought it would be nice to listing the definitions of
trademarks, copyrights and patents would help us recap stuff after recent
classes.
Trademarks, copyrights and patents all differ. A copyright
protects an original artistic or literary work; a patent protects an invention.
And a trademark is a word, phrase, symbol design, or a combination of
words, phrases, symbols or designs, that identifies and distinguishes the
source of the goods of one party from those of others.
(For copyright information, go to http://www.copyright.gov; For patent
information, go to http://www.uspto.gov/main/patents.htm).
Having a solid definition of each is definitely at the foundation of this class. Although both you and Dr. Lavian discussed these general differences in class, were you able to come across any new information that surprised you?
