Intellectual Property
Facebook is committed to helping people and organizations protect their
intellectual property rights. The Facebook Statement of Rights and Responsibilities does not allow
posting content that violates someone else’s intellectual property rights,
including copyright and trademark.
Copyright
Copyright is a legal right that seeks to protect original works of
authorship (ex: books, music, film, art). Generally, copyright protects
original expression such as words or images. It does not protect facts and
ideas, although it may protect the original words or images used to describe an
idea. Copyright also doesn’t protect things like names, titles and slogans; however,
another legal right called a trademark might protect
those. Learn more about reporting copyright violations.
Trademark
A trademark is a word, slogan, symbol or design (example: brand name, logo)
that distinguishes the products or services offered by one person, group or
company from another. Generally, trademark law seeks to prevent confusion among
consumers about who provides or is affiliated with a product or service. Learn
more about reporting trademark violations.
