Can I copyright a name, title, or slogan?

In Arizona, it is possible to copyright a name, title, or slogan. This is a form of intellectual property protection that prevents someone else from using a work that is lawfully owned by someone else. In order to copyright a name, title, or slogan, it must meet certain requirements. It must be an original, creative work, and it must be fixed in a tangible form of expression. Additionally, the work must be the result of an intellectual process, rather than relying solely on common knowledge or language. Once these requirements are met, the work must be registered with the United States Copyright Office to receive copyright protection. The copyright will be granted for a certain period of time, typically the life of the author plus 70 years. During this period of time the author has exclusive rights over the work, including the right to reproduce and distribute it. Copyright protection allows the author to control the use of their work. It also provides them with the opportunity to make money from their creative efforts. Whenever someone else uses a name, title, or slogan that has been copyrighted by someone else, they may need to pay a fee to the author or obtain written permission.
