Copyright vs. Trademark
Image copyright and trademarks can be very confusing. You see a design online and think it's fine to use on your project. They're all over the internet, especially in Cricut Facebook groups. People give away SVG dumps and free SVGs that they don't actually have the rights to. You could be committing copyright or trademark infringement. So how do you know which designs and fonts are safe to use, and which ones are off limits? I'm here to help you learn!
Disclaimer! Please note that I am not a lawyer and this video should not be used in the place of legal advice. I tried to verify the facts to the best of my ability, but they are in no way meant to be a legal opinion and if you have an issue or question, consult an actual attorney.
Copyrights and Trademarks are not the same. They are so legally distinct they're managed by two different offices within the federal government.
Trademarks are handled by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, while copyrights are handled by the U.S. Copyright Office.
What Is A Copyright?
Copyright is a type of intellectual property, so something you thought of and made. In order to qualify for copyright protection, an original creative work must exist in tangible form. In other words, it must be written down or in a form you can physically touch. So if you create a unique design to put on a shirt, that design can be copyrighted.
Generally, copyrights protect creative or intellectual works, and trademarks apply to commercial names, phrases, and logos.
What can be Copyrighted?
A lot of things can be copyrighted including paintings, photographs, illustrations, musical compositions, sound recordings, computer programs, books, poems, blog posts, movies, architectural works, plays, and so much more! (https://www.copyright.gov/what-is-cop...)
Who Is A Copyright Owner?
Everyone is a copyright owner. Once you create an original work and fix it into something tangable, like taking a photograph, writing a poem or blog, or recording a new song, you are the author and the owner.
Things That Can't Be Copyrighted
1. Ideas, Methods, or Systems
2. Commonly Known Information
3. Fashion
4. Names, Titles, Short Phrases, or Expressions
While not protected by copyright, if it pertains to your business (for example, goods and services), it can be protected with a trademark.
Also exempt: Names, Titles, Short phrases or expressions, Product descriptions, Pseudonyms, Titles of works, Business names , Recipes
What Is A Trademark?
Trademarks protect the use of a company's name and its product names, brand identity (like logos) and slogans. They protect words, names, symbols, or devices used in trade with goods or services.
