Best Answer

Most if not all companies have some sort of trademark(over their name, logo, slogan, etc.). Depending on their activities, they may also have one or more patents, and may control a number of copyrights. In the US, copyright is covered by US Code Title 17 and administered by the Copyright Office (within the Library of Congress), and trademarks and patents are covered by US Code Title 37 and administered by the Patent and Trademark Office (within the Department of Commerce). Other countries have all three forms of intellectual property handled by one office.
