What else can I help you with?
How do you copyright and trademark at the same time?
If the work exists as something tangible, then it's automatically protected by copyright. It's then just a matter of trademarking it also.
What can't I copyright that hasn't been copyrighted yet?
You can't copyright anything that isn't your original work. But since copyright is automatic, if something is copyrightable and it exists, it is protected. That is, there is nothing in existence that is copyrightable that is not copyrighted.
Does a copyright symbol have to be attached to an item before it is protected by copyright laws?
No. Since 1989, when copyright law was amended to bring it into alignment with the Berne Copyright Convention, it is no longer necessary for a copyright symbol to be displayed to establish or maintain protection. Copyright exists from the moment you create an original work, and that can be something as simple as a photo of your child.

How do you know if somthing is copyright or not?

Is re wording something a copyright?
No, copying and pasting is copyright though.
Does a work need to show the symbol for copyright before one exists?
No. A copyright notice hasn't been required since the laws were changed in 1989.
