Copyrights can also be obtained for advertising copy, games, software programs and blueprints, to name just a few. Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service.

I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
