World Internet Marketing, Inc., with a combination of our sophisticated proprietary search program and manual human searching, can put together a program to monitor the very brand names that took you years to develop. Let us show you today how we can save you time, energy and money. How do you protect the good name and goodwill of your business name, trademarks and brand names?

In cyberspace, it is very difficult to track derogatory use of your brand name or trademark. Some sites can be posted today and gone tomorrow, having done the damage before you can react.

Did you know registered trademarks are in effect for just ten years? To continue using a trademark, you must file an affidavit during year six of its use. You can continue to renew your trademark forever, in ten year terms. Just because you didn't know you were using someone's trademark improperly, you are not off the hook.

The Lanham Act of 1946 uses specific language about trademarks.
"Any work, name, symbol or device, or any combination thereof."

This limitation has been expanded to include a company's image, created through the use of particular packaging if it seems distinctive or has developed some other meaning as a result of its recognition.

If you try to use, display or distribute a copyrighted work, you should know you are breaking the law if you don't have the owner's permission. Protect yourself: Request it.

Copyright law provides individual and owners the rights to their works. More specifically, "a work of authorship fixed in a tangible medium." That tangible medium is expanded to include graphics, audio or visual works, music or literary works, or even choreographic works: The Internet and websites are considered part of this group.

Because of the lack of a definition of the term in the 1976 Copyright Act, "doctrine of fair use", the courts have some freedom in determining violations and penalties. However, just like with trademarks, just because you don't know you can't get away with it. Your safest bet is to protect yourself. Know the laws or employ a company like us to help you along the way.
