Intellectual Property and Podcast Registration

Everyone is doing a podcast seemingly. But some are better than others. So someone could decide to use yours instead of being creative and doing their own.

The name of your podcast can and should be trademarked. It's your name and you do not want others to use it once you start to develop a following. So your domain name, podcast name, individual podcast titles, and live streaming events can all be trademarked.

A trademark is any work, symbol, design or a phrase. It is a combination of those things that identify your goods or services. What you are selling to the world. It’s how your customers or the others identify you in the marketplace and distinguish you from competitors. 

Copyright laws are to protect one's original works of authorship. People who create literacy, musical, dramatic, software codes etc, copyright is the primary to protect those creations. In this economic story about copyright, people think that most creators make their creative works so that they can get paid. When copyright enables creators to get paid, more creators make more works.

Do I need a Trademark, Copyright or Patent? 

Essentially, when you start a business. You think of ways to protect it. How can you protect your business’s name, logo, sound, inventions or design? “The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is a fee-funded agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The role of the USPTO is to grant patents for the protection of inventions and to register trademarks and service marks for products and services, respectively.”

Patent is when you have invented something. In other words, a patent is an exclusive right to a product or a process that generally provides a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. For example, you have created a luggage bag that has a feature of weighing the bag.
