Re: Copyright

It appears that what you may actually be looking to do is to trademark the name for your design collection. POLO is a trademark. There are different kinds of trademarks and different kinds of applications, so your use of the mark, the type of protection you seek, etc. will all impact the cost and length of the process.

You can get more information on federal trademarks at the USPTO website www.uspto.gov. However, I would suggest a qualified attorney assist you in the trademark process.
