Somebody got a trademark for a domain I own. I am planning to launch my service in a week It is hard to determine the specifics from the details provided here, but challenging based on a defective application is slightly better than what I first understood. That said, even if their application was thrown out, they would still have common law trademark rights that would predate your use of the mark. You are staring a new company, that alone presents a lot of issues, I wouldn't want to add trademark issues to it. |

Everything's done, Copyright missing Registering your copyright gives you extra rights in the event that someone infringes. Check out Wikipedia's writeup of US Copyright: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_registration |

I trademarked and copyrighted the plural form of the name but going with the singular form No - he asked whether he need to trademark the new form and does he need to copyright the new logo. The answer to both is yes. |

How much does it cost to transfer a copyright? The assignment won't cost anything. The registration with the copyright office has statutory fees. Of course, that is only if you registered your copyright with the Copyright Office already. If you haven't done that you don't need to update the assignment with them. |

User Elected Image Copyrights I would love to give you a definite answer, but unfortunately there isn't one. The less of a passive provider you are, the less likely you will be eligible for the safe harbor protections. If you are providing people with a Google image search, it could probably be guessed that the majority of images returned are someone else's copyrighted image. If you are providing a search of public domain images, that might be a different story. |

Online web design business: Contract or not? Digital signatures are valid ways to sign contracts. The check-box then accept button usually is enough to form a contract (i.e. the user signed the contract). |

Online web design business: Contract or not? I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. Could you rephrase? |
