RE: Reg. Trademarks to copyright



I know this is a little off topic. . . but when my son (the law student:-) ) heard me complain that I had a couple of hours of computer time in designing a series of suggestions for sign work. . . only to have the customer show them to another shop who then underbid me. . . he instructed me to always add the line: copyright (year) (author)

to all my work.  It may or may not keep another shop from using my work, but it definitely will give me an excellent chance of winning a lawsuit if I choose to go that route.
