Artwork versus brand name
The artistic expression in a logo may raise copyright questions, while the brand name and market identity usually need trademark protection.

If a designer or agency created the logo, the business should check assignment terms before claiming ownership.
Practical approach
For a logo-led brand, review both copyright documentation and trademark filing strategy so ownership and brand protection align.
