You cannot copyright a title/name or brand name.  Do you remember what you may have registered with the copyright office?

You can trademark a brand name.  For example, did you apply for a trademark for a word or phrase like "Just Do it"

Customer
I did..I copywrote the name and the brand..

Where/Whom did you copyright it ?

Regarding your initial question, did you allow someone else or another business to use your brand and now want royalties? Or, are you looking to understand royalties or how to get paid for your brand?

Customer
They did it for me.They helped me create apps for my business that I never just got up and running.. whatever I needed they helped me.they just did it from a distance.It came from me owner of all in one company..I have business cards etc..they not going to be tripping they my family.I just need to know how to collect my money.They did so much I don't wanna sound ungrateful because it wasn't but I guess it was my fault it didn't happen as planned but I did my best..so yes I'm trying to get paid who do I talk too .because I'm pretty sure they got it laid out..I'm just trying to take the easy way out now lol .been going hard everyday for about 6 months..I'm ready to get steady income.

When you say "They did it for me." who are you referring to?  Part of your question may have been cut off, so I'm not sure who helped you copyright your app and trademark your name.  Who did you have a contract with?

Customer
Im done talking about this no disrespect...it's my ideas..they ideas I don't care..its copywrote with the name I came up with up and they not tripping..it was 1000 people,they payed a game with me,they did all type of stuff..I'm lucky I'm still sane mentally..I had one person me and my god literally...if it was more I didn't know..but it was no contract,no verbal agreement,it's a understanding of love and loyalty.i couldnt do it all.My focus was on living forever and paradise.It really wasn't on money..It was but once the other people killed my goals on my business it through me for a loop..Then they made a game about my woman.Its to much beautiful woman.I hope you know,if not you'll never understand.Inless you let me take you out for dinner I'll tell you then....I'm playing,I'm trying to keep it loyal..I been doing

What ever money, royalties, benefits, you are entitled to should be in the contract you signed.

Customer
I didn't sign a contract .the other people did when they sold they soul...How much do you think a person soul would cost?

Melanie C. Esq, Expert

In 2022, I'm not sure it would cost much.

I'm not sure how I can be of further legal assistance.   If you have no further legal questions, I wish you the best.

Customer
