COPYRIGHT
Fee: $349
The We The People Copyright form can be used to register and protect original works of authorship from infringement by others. A copyright is a federal registration – not a state by state matter. A copyright protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. For something to be copyrighted it must be fixed on paper, or tape, or other medium of expression.

TRADEMARK APPLICATION
Fee: $349
The We The People Trademark Application form can be used to protect words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors that distinguish goods and services from those manufactured or sold by others and to indicate the source of the goods. We The People® can prepare an application to register trademarks on either a state or national level.
Trademarks make it easier for consumers to quickly identify the source of a given good. Instead of reading the fine print on a can of cola, consumers can look for the Coca-Cola trademark. Instead of asking a store clerk who made a certain athletic shoe, consumers can look for particular identifying symbols, such as a swoosh or a unique pattern of stripes. By making goods easier to identify, trademarks also give manufacturers an incentive to invest in the quality of their goods. After all, if a consumer tries a can of Coca-Cola and finds the quality lacking, it will be easy for the consumer to avoid Coca-Cola in the future and instead buy another brand. Service-marks receive the same legal protection as trademarks but are meant to distinguish services (an employment agency, for example) rather than products (such as hamburgers); servicemark registration and trademark registration processes are the same.
Usually a trademark application is prepared for a mark already in use on goods or services available to the public. Occasionally, however, there might be a need to register a mark before the service or product is available; this can be done although there are time limits and additional fees to the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office involved.
The U.S. Trademark and Patent Offices charges a fee to process a trademark application that is separate from the price paid to We The People.

TRADEMARK SEARCH
The We The People Trademark Search can be used to determine whether or not particular words, names, symbols, sounds, or colors are already being used by a business before submitting a Trademark Application to the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office. The We The People Trademark Search lets you choose any of the following searches:
- Fee: $759 (Federal Trademark Search Name Only)
- Fee: $759 (Federal Trademark Search Logo)
- Fee: $1,350 (Federal Trademark Search Name and Logo)
By utilizing a We The People Trademark Search before designing a mark or submitting a trademark application, you can avoid infringement of existing brands and assess the strength of a mark for acquisition or licensing purposes. A search, however, is not required prior to submitting a Trademark Application.
