Font use as company logo

[FlyingRon]

Jeffrey has the semblance correct but the terms wrong.

What can not be protected by copyright is the TYPEFACE. That is, the appearance of the characters. The font, which is the method of producing that typeface in various configurations, which on computers is essentially a program, can be protected by copyright.

Note that the font/typeface names can be very much protected by trademark. For example, Microsoft created the a font to replace the Helvetica one, partially because they wouldn't have to license the font and called it Arial to avoid clashing with Monotype's trademark.

Because this was Jeffrey’s first post after registering, he might not have been aware of the rules on this forum. With luck, he knows better now.

Copyright does not authorize any copyright to a font design that they have created. So anyone can create a logo using any available font.

While a font cannot be copyrighted

This is wrong, and I'm not sure why you're resurrecting a thread that's nearly a year and a half old.

That’s okay.
