: : : I have a few original designs for some clothing items. I would like to manufacture and sell them with as much protection from theft as possible. Since I am not rich I need to do it as cheaply as possible. Any suggestions? : : If you are tremendously low on money and cant afford to go to the corthouse and get your stuff copywrited then you can always get what us poor people call a "poor mans copywrite" basicaly to copywrite something you have to have a government seal on it... the post office just so happens to have... a government seal... so if you mail yourself what you want copywrited and dont open it you have a government seal on it and if someone trys to steal your idea then you can take your stuff to cort and it is copywrited... i am a song writer so that is the way i copywrite all my songs... but if you break the seal on the envalope it becomes void.... so make sure to keep it closed.... : Dear Joshua, : In the market place it just doesn't work that way. A copyright covers the mode of expression not the substance of the look. : A style cannot be copyrighted, such as a short skirt with two pleats. Move the pleats or lenghten the skirt and there is no copyright infringement. : M.
