Is there a copyright on the use of Whats Up Doc for commercial purposes?
Not sure about the copyright, but the last person who attempted to register a similar trademark in the US Trademark Office (related to restaurant services) wound up in litigation for over two years when Warner Brothers found out about it and ended up abandoning the application. Probably not, because slogans are not normally subject to copyright protection. However, it is a distinctive trademark slogan of a famous cartoon character, and almost any commercial use of the slogan that conflicts with the owner's rights is likely to result in unpleasantness.
Is the copyright symbol protected by copyright?
Yes, it is very common to create a logo for identification of your brand. In US practice the mere "use in commerce" of the logo in association with your goods or services may give you some state and federal protection. However, a registration (state or federal) will give you better protection, not to mention notice to the public of your claim to proprietary rights in the logo. So, to answer your question, yes you can "put trademark" on a logo, which means you can enforce the logo as a trademark, or you can put "tm" on the logo, or you can register it and put the circle-R on the logo.
