assistant
1. The primary differences between copyright and trademark law are that copyright law protects original works of authorship, such as literature, music, and other artistic works, while trademark law protects any name, slogan, logo, or other symbol used to identify a product or service in the marketplace.
2. Copyright law primarily concerns the exclusive rights given to a copyright holder over the expression of, but not the ideas behind, an original work or other intellectual property.
3. Copyright law grants the holder exclusive rights over the copying, adapting, distributing, and performing of the works whereas trademark law gives exclusive rights over the use of the trademark in commerce in order to identify and distinguish the owner's good or services from those of others.
