What is the difference between copyright and trademark?

Copyright protects original creative works, while trademarks protect brand identifiers such as names, logos, and slogans. For example, a song’s melody and lyrics are protected by copyright, while the artist’s stage name or logo can be trademarked. Both are important for artists, as they protect different aspects of intellectual property. A3Tunes educates musicians on the value of securing both forms of protection—ensuring that their creative content and brand identity are safe from misuse or unauthorized commercial exploitation.
