Can I copyright a name, title, or slogan?

Yes, you can copyright a name, title, or slogan in the state of Oklahoma. Copyrights are a form of intellectual property protection that cover the original creative works of authors, such as books, movies, music, artistic works, and software. Copyrights also cover a wide range of other materials, such as slogans, titles, and names. These are referred to as "trade marks" in the copyright law. In Oklahoma, trade marks are protected under common law and can be enforced through a lawsuit. In order to protect a trade mark in Oklahoma, the name, title, or slogan must be unique, distinctive, and non-descriptive. Additionally, the phrase must be used in association with a particular product or service. If these requirements are met, the trade mark holder can then register the trade mark with the state. Once a trade mark is registered, the owner of the mark has the exclusive right to use the mark in connection with the goods and services specified in the registration. They may also bring a lawsuit for infringement of the trade mark by another person. Registration is not required to claim a trade mark, but it does provide additional legal protection.
