Hi All

Do you need to copyright an application name you write for commercial sale

If so is it country specific or international

Hello Steve,

Im no lawyer.. and I havent researched it.. but my lay understanding is that
you don't copyright a name.. you trademark it.  You copyright content.  You
patent processes and physical objects.
