Many start-up founders register it in their names, while large businesses would prefer to do so in the name of the company. This is because the future of a start-up is always in doubt.

Trademarks and copyrights are both intellectual property but serve different purposes. Copyright applies to literary and audio-visual (music, photographs, movies) works. So it’s an exclusive right granted to the creator or author of a book, script, software, music, photograph or movie. The owner has the right to stop the publication of any work that shares similarities with his/her work unless it has been fairly used. Registration is not necessary. However, as copyright infringement has become commonplace in the Internet age, and you need a registration to take the matter to court, copyright registration has gained importance. On the other hand, a Trademark is essentially a characteristic of your brand. It could be your brand name, your brand’s logo, or even your brand’s slogan which distinguishes your product from the similar products of competitors.

If you have a certain brand name, or a logo, or a slogan in mind, we can do a trademark search for you. A simple way to do this yourself is to just go online to the internet and check if there is a similar company with a similar name to yours, on the internet. You should also check if the domain name of your brand is available or not.
