The purpose of copyright registration is to provide protection for the legal rights created in the written words. However, a copyright registration does not actually grant permission to the owner to do anything with the works. Performing these actions would require an allowance or license. These licenses are often referred to as “fair use.” As defined by the fair use laws, any use by a copyrighted work of the other copyright holder does not need to result in revenue for either the copyright owner or the one who made the original work.
The music copyright law is different from most other types of copyright law because its purpose is to reward and recognize the creativity that goes into music. Music copyrights allow music authors and performers to create monetary compensation when their works are used without proper authorization. This protection helps both the music writer or musician and the artist to receive their due from the music industry.
Copyright Law services deal exclusively with the protection of trademarks via the employment of Trademark Laws. A trademark is generally comprised of symbols or words that are so intimately associated with an item that they immediately identify and distinguish it from similar items in the market. A symbol is a sign which conveys not only an idea but also an emotion or a thought. Trademarks are designed to secure the rights provided by the copyright law to enable the copyright owner to do business. It requires the consent of the copyright holder in order to put his or her mark on an item.
An example of a trademark is a word, phrase or design that is commonly found on products. If an individual finds a logo, symbol or any other form of identifying information on an item and uses it illegally, he or she could be held guilty of copyright infringement. The owner of intellectual property maintains the copyright which protects original literary, dramatic, photographs, cinematograph films, musical, artistic works, logos, paintings and other visual or written materials.
