 are regulated in a similar manner as patents by the same government entities, with two key differences. First,
trademark rights do not require registration; rather, a party establishes trademark rights through commercial use of the mark. However,
trademark registration can strengthen protections. Second, trademarks are also protected and regulated at the state level, which means
that state enforcers also oversee trademark protections, and that trademark disputes can be litigated in both state and federal court.

Copyrights protect original
works of intellectual and artistic expression and cover a wide variety of content, including magazines and movies. Copyrights are regulated
exclusively at the federal level under a regime separate from the one that applies to patent and trademark protection. An author automatically
obtains a copyright over work as soon as it is committed to a medium, including paper, film or electronic memory. The U.S. Copyright
Office oversees copyright protections and provides legal and regulatory guidance to authors. It also allows authors to register copyrighted
material, which is in turn recorded and stored in the Library of Congress. Although registration is not necessary to obtain copyright
protection, it is generally a prerequisite for a copyright holder to seek enforcement in court. Federal courts adjudicate most copyright
disputes, while the Copyright Claims Board has authority to resolve certain smaller and more limited disputes.

The Digital Millennium Copyright
Act also plays an important role in copyright protection. This act protects online service providers from copyright liability arising
from user activities; for example, the Act applies when a user uses an online service provider to distribute copyrighted works, such as
a movie or periodical, without proper authorization or permission. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act establishes a self-regulatory
process for copyright enforcement in which an online service provider must participate in order to qualify for protections from liability.
Through this process, copyright holders can submit complaints and takedown notices directly to an online service provider for an alleged
violation by a user using the service. The online service provider must then take action to comply with the complaint and remove the allegedly
infringing material, while giving the affected user notice of the complaint and an opportunity to respond. If the user objects to the
complaint, the online service provider must then restore the material and provide notice to the copyright holder, who can then seek further
adjudication and enforcement in federal court.

Advertising

A combination of federal and
state laws regulate advertising in the United States. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair and
deceptive advertising and
