Question: My spouse owned a trademark registration and has since died. Do I own it now?

First, gather as much information as you can about the music. Second, contact the appropriate performing rights organization to get the name, address and phone number of the publisher who controls the copyright. Thirdly, contact the publisher.

Question: What are Trademark rights?

Answer:
