To protect a logo, you should obtain a trademark. A trademark protects symbols, names, and slogans used to identify goods or services. This would ensure that your logo is recognized as representing your company and prevent others from using a similar logo that could cause confusion.
Here’s a brief overview of the other options:
- Patent: Protects inventions or processes, not logos.
- Copyright: Protects original works of authorship (like artwork, music, and literature) but does not specifically protect logos as trademarks do.
- Asset protection: Refers to strategies to protect personal assets from various claims and is not specific to intellectual property protection.
So, for your logo, the appropriate choice is trademark.
