You may want to register a trademark, copyright, or both
A trademark protects your rights to a design that identifies your business. A copyright protects a logo as an artistic work. If both sound like what you need, you can register each.
Copyright
Get a copyright if you need help to protect a wide array of creative works—books, screenplays, music, films, artwork, photographs, and more.
Benefits of a copyright registration:
There's a public record of your copyright claim
You have the ability to sue infringers in federal court
It may be used as evidence to prove ownership of your copyright
