While all three are intellectual property, they are quite different. One big difference is that trademarks never expire or go into the public domain so long as they remain in use in commerce. For more information, please visit www.uspto.gov and www.copyright.gov. Call TRI today at (248) 922-9678 to discuss how you might benefit from licensing your brand!
