How To Copyright A Name?

You generally cannot copyright a name alone

Copyright protects original creative works, not short names, titles, slogans, or phrases

Use trademark protection if you want to protect a name used for a brand, product, or service

Check whether the name is already in use before trying to protect it

Search trademark databases in your country

Search business registries and domain name availability

File a trademark application with the appropriate government office

Use the name consistently in commerce

Keep records showing first use of the name

Register related domain names and social media handles

Consult an intellectual property attorney for legal advice
