How do you copyright a band name or logo?

Answer 1

You first need to look it up on the TESS. Google it. Your not gonna be copyrighting your band name, youll be trademarking it. After you look it up on the tess you need to fill out a principal register to get started. you can do this here: http://www.uspto.gov Be ready to spend some money too. Trademarking isn't free. But is very necessary. and for future reference if you've ever known anyone to try to use poor mans copyright(mailing yourself something to have it post marked to prove you had it on a certain date) It don't hold water in court. Spend the little bit of money it is to get your stuff copy righten by the us patent office.
