Can I copyright a name or logo I created?

Yes, you can copyright a name or logo you created in Arizona. The United States Copyright Office defines a copyright as a form of intellectual property protection that is given to authors of “original works of authorship” for a limited time. This includes literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. In order to protect your name or logo in Arizona, you must first register the copyright with the United States Copyright Office. You can do this by filing an application and paying a fee. Once this is done, your name or logo will be protected from being used without your permission. Once you have your name or logo copyrighted, it is a good idea to display the copyright symbol (©) at the bottom of any page or document that contains the name or logo. This is a widely recognized symbol that warns other people that your name or logo is under copyright protection. It is important to note that copyright protection does not last forever, and after a certain amount of time, the name or logo will go into the public domain and can be used by anyone. However, understanding and following copyright law is a great way to protect your work and prevent people from using it without your permission.
