Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the
creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time.
Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the
right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work
to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit
from it, and other, related rights. It is an intellectual property form
(like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any
expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and
discrete.
A copyright is appropriate for protecting the content of your website and
the coding behind it.

A Trademark or Trade Mark (represented by the symbol ™) or mark is a
distinctive sign or indicator of some kind which is used by an individual,
business organization or other legal entity to identify uniquely the source
of its products and/or services to consumers, and to distinguish its
products or services from those of other entities. A trademark is a type
of intellectual property, and typically a name, word, phrase, logo, symbol,
design, image, or a combination of these elements. There is also a range
of non-conventional trademarks comprising marks which do not fall into
these standard categories. The owner of a registered trademark may
commence legal proceedings for trademark infringement to prevent
unauthorized use of that trademark. However, registration is not required.
The owner of a common law trademark may also file suit, but an
unregistered mark may be protectable only within the geographical area
within which it has been used or in geographical areas into which it may
be reasonably expected to expand. The term trademark is also used
informally to refer to any distinguishing attribute by which an individual is
readily identified, such as the well known characteristics of celebrities.
When a trademark is used in relation to services rather than products,
it may sometimes be called a service mark, particularly in the United States.
