I designed a logo for my new company. My friend told me that no one will be able to copy my logo because it is automatically protected under copyright laws. Is copyright protection enough to protect my interests?

- Although copyright protection offers content creators with some sort of protection against copyright infringement it is a good idea to consider getting your logo registered as a trademark.
- There is a registration fee but it offers greater protection than copyright because it is registered with IP Australia.
