QUESTION

Just a quick question I know it say that I own the copyright to the logo but just to be clear are you saying specifically that I would not have to go through the government to legally copyright the logo? Will I have documents showing that it is copyrighted?

Thank you,

Debbie

ANSWER

Hi Debbie. Nope. The way it works is that the designer or design house automatically owns the copyright to the works they create. At Biz-Logo we transfer the copyright to the client at the completion of the project. This is not something physical. The copyright is transferred because that's in effect part of what you pay for - as per our terms of service. We do also have a standard "transfer of copyright" document that we can send you - just to confirm that we will make no claim of copyright on the logo.

But someone else can still claim that they used the image before you did. The best way to protect your logo is to register it as a trademark. That's a fairly long process though. We can do that for you at about $1,200 (for U.S. trademarks).

Let me know if you have any questions Debbie. We look forward to working with you.
