   The U.S. Copyright Office mentioned that slogans cannot be copyrighted. Copyrights are only used to protect literary, artistic, musical and dramatic works but it will not protect titles, slogans or different phrases. On the same time few slogans can be protected under the trademark law, but there is a specific criterion to qualify. A qualifying slogan is one that sharply differentiates your company's product from any other company and it is not informational, because in that case it can be associated with different things. If you want to legally save your slogan as a trademark, then you can use mentions steps:
   • Find out that whether your slogan may qualify as a trademark, for this you can you utilize the United States Patent and Trademark Office instructions or contact with an intellectual property attorney about your slogan. For more convenience use the USPTO's Trademark Electronic Search System and confirm that your slogan does not conflict with an existing registered trademark.
   • If you find that any conflict exists, collect the information of the trademark from the Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval (TARR) database.
   • Mention the description of the goods/service concerned with your slogan.
   • Also add a representation in your application about the mark you want to use. Because a slogan contains only words, so you must use a prescribed character format, which means that you are not making a claim to any particular font size, style or color.
   • You can file your Trademark Electronic Application online as the cost of the hard copies will be high. Wait for the response, which may vary depending on legal issues that might arise during the processing of your application
