What is the difference between Trademark and Copyright?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Hi,

COPYRIGHT:
Copyright protects original expression in bookish and creative works such as plays, books, films, songs, software, performances, etc.

TRADEMARK:
Trademark only protects names and logo images that are used to label goods or services.


What do you think guys?

Thanks

trademark
protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods. Trademarks, unlike patents, can be renewed forever as long as they are being used in commerce.

copyrights
protect works of authorship, such as writings, music, and works of art that have been tangibly expressed. The Library of Congress registers copyrights which last for the life of the author plus 70 years.

those are both from the USPTO website.
