Learn the Differences Between Copyrights, Patents & Trademarks

Hi, I'm Nathan Boehme writer and film director with Expert Village. In this series, it's all about copyrights. So how is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark. The simplest way to explain it is to say a copyright protect original works of authorship. A patent protects inventions for discoveries. For example this, I created this therefore I have the right to copyright it. This under the hand is something that I discovered on my floor therefore I can patent this if someone doesn't already hold the patent to discover laundry lint. But you get the idea. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of a certain party distinguishing them from others. For example, I guess I can trademark this, I want to turn it into my mascot for personal company design logo or something. It's a settled difference I know between trademarks, patents and copyrights but for now we won't concern ourselves with details and we'll just stick to copyrights.
