: Can a copywright be obtained for a song TITLE? Basically no. Title in themselve are not protected under the copyright law. They would be better protected under the trademarnk law. The are genera;;y not protected. The book title The Little Train That Could, was eventually registered as a trademark. There is protection under the law of unfair competition. I is not as easy to enforce and a trademark. M.
