As a lawyer, the key difference between a trademark and a copyright is the type of protection each provides. A trademark is a symbol, word, or phrase used in connection with goods or services to distinguish them from competitors. A copyright, on the other hand, protects original creative works such as books, songs, and artwork from being copied or reproduced without permission.
In terms of which one you should register for your business, it depends on the nature of your business and what you are looking to protect. If your business uses a unique name or logo to distinguish itself from competitors, you would want to register for a trademark. If your business creates or uses original creative works such as original content, music, or artwork, you would want to register for a copyright.
It is worth noting that there may be limitations or exceptions to both types of protection. For example, using a trademark that is too similar to another company's may result in infringement claims. Additionally, copyright protection may not extend to certain types of works, such as facts or ideas.
If you are unsure which type of protection to pursue or if you have further questions about the protection process and requirements, it is recommended that you consult with a licensed attorney with experience in intellectual property law.
