Yes, copyright law can protect the graphic design of an original artistic logo, so if any one uses your logo without your permission or copies it, you can take action.

Please Note: It does NOT, protect a name that may be on the logo.

No, you CAN NOT effectively protect a name using copyright and the Protect My Work copyright proof system, copyright law does not protect names or slogans, but we can protect original logos. For a name:

• Government filing fees start at £170
• Protect My Work can file trademark applications for £499 + VAT, which includes the £170 government filing fee mentioned above
