    Let’s see if I can get this right.

    Copyright is for literary/musical works and is automatic.
    TradeMark is for logos/names/slogans/colours(?)
    Patent is for a technical working of a physical thing – you can’t patent an idea, as such, but you can patent a solar-powered mouse-trap, for example.

    • no its not that simple, copyright and trademark law, patent law and design registration can all apply to design work.ribit
