I remember back in law school when I first started learning about trademarks and copyrights.
I hadn't a clue what the difference was between them, or what they would have meant for my future business ventures.
You probably feel the same way.
That's why I decided that this weeks video would be a little different than ones I've done in the past. It's a bit more interactive and fun.
Not only did I talk briefly about the importance of trademarks and copyrights, but I also explained how they differ and then used some real world examples from around my house to show you the difference.
Can you tell the difference between a trademark and copyright?
Let's see… Enjoy.
