The internet has created a whole new set of problems for those businesses or individuals trying to protect their trademarks from copyrighting. Websites are owned by the company or person and strict laws are in place that protect trademarks. A trademark can take many different forms including brand names, logos, and domain names. A logo on a website is a trademark. Unfortunately it is all too easy to copy and paste proprietary and copyrighted images and information from one website to another. Even links between websites can pose a trademark infringement on a site layout if permission has not been obtained from the trademark or site owner. Protecting copyrighted material can be difficult, and that is why many businesses and people choose to use attorneys who specialize in copyright law. The first step the attorney often takes is sending a Cease and Desist Order.
