Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

I think you're confusing copyrights and trademarks. In any event, the law does not recognize what is often referred to as a poor man's copyright, and, in any event, the protection you probably need isn't copyright but trademark.

The rules for trademarks are complex, but the process isn't insanely expensive. I generally handle the registration of a trademark on a flat fee basis. Feel free to get in touch...
