As far as I know. One is for a product itself or the technology behind the
product. The other is for a name or term. For example, you could not open a
soft drink company named Pepsi. This is due to trademark protection.
Note, I am not a lawyer and maybe very wrong.

Sorry to bother you, but would you happen to be able to explain to me
the difference(s) between copyrighting material and trademarking it,
or can you point me to a resource on the Web that explains it? Thank
you.

are

MDs of

"DVD"
