What is copyright?

Copyright is a legal protection for works with a ‘creative stamp’. Typically, copyright focusses on artistic works, like drawings, photos, videos, GIFs, music, and more. Under copyright laws around the world, the owner of the work can protect their creation, usually by asking people not to use or share it without permission. Copyright is an automatic right, so you don’t need to register it.

What is a trademark?

A trademark is a way for a person, company or organisation to be identified as the provider of certain goods and services. Many famous brand names and logos are registered trademarks. This means that when people look at the good or service in question, they instantly recognise who is offering it! Like copyright, a trademark owner has the right to prevent others from using the relevant mark without consent.

Why is the CryptoVerseLand Foundation registering the word “CryptoVerseLand” and other logos?

If someone else registers the trademarks, they may not have the CVL community’s best interests at heart. If someone else owns the logo, they may try to prevent the CVL fans and other fans from using it, too! For that reason, the Foundation has chosen to register the trademarks; holding it safe for the CVL community.
