$499 copyright certificateTrademark filing

Files and ownership

Do I own the logo when it is finished?

The short answer

Only after the separate $499 Copyright Assignment & Commercial Use Certificate is paid, completed and signed, and the underlying logo project is paid in full. The design package alone does not transfer copyright or authorize public or commercial use.

The longer answer

Completely, and in writing. Copyright is assigned to you rather than licensed, there is nothing to renew, and no further payment is ever due for using the mark.

This is the difference that matters most later. A licence cannot be registered as a trademark in your name and is awkward when a business is sold. An assignment is the thing a buyer’s solicitor will ask to see, which is why it is issued as standard rather than on request.

Still not answered?

Ask a person. WhatsApp is fastest for something short, the phone is best for anything that needs a conversation, and support@logoorbit.net is watched all day.
