here's a new question from quora how do i copyright a brand name i'm andre minkov the founder of trademark factory and here's my answer to this question well you kind of don't you cannot copyright a brand name copyright is also part of intellectual property a type of intellectual property but it's very different from trademarks copyright protects content protects books music photographs videos software but it does not protect brand names copyright is not designed to protect short phrases it's not designed to protect individual words is not designed to protect brands is not designed to protect brand names the only thing that the only type of intellectual property that really protects brands is trademarks and that's what you have to use if you want to protect your brand name so there's no reason in the world you would be copyrighting your brand name but good for you for thinking in terms of yes i need to do something about my brand name so that i own it so if you do want to do something for your brand that would really allow you to secure it as yours you would do that through a trademark i hope this answers your question and if you haven't done so yet make sure you subscribe now and get notified whenever the next video goes live and more importantly if you have more questions about branding about trademarks that you want me to answer make sure you post a comment below and i'll shoot a video just like this one and until then i will see you you in the next video
