Will designed a company logo for his new gym. Which intellectual property law would best protect his logo? Patent Trademark Trade secret Copyright

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the type of intellectual property law that would best protect a company logo. The options provided are patent, trademark, trade secret, and copyright.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />A patent is a form of intellectual property that provides the patent holder with the exclusive legal rights to an invention for a limited period of time. This is not applicable to a company logo, as a logo is not an invention.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />A trade secret is a formula, practice, process, design, commercial method, or compilation of information which is not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others, and which a person can obtain an economic advantage from keeping secret. This also does not apply to a company logo, as a logo is not a secret formula or process.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />A copyright is a law that gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution. This is not applicable to a company logo, as a logo is not an original work of art.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />A trademark is a recognizable sign, logo, or symbol that represents a company or product. This is the most appropriate form of intellectual property law for a company logo, as it is a unique symbol that represents the company.
