True or False 

A compliant quality mark on an item would be “Sterling/1/10 14K” followed by a trademark.

A copyright is the protection for original designs.  It covers both the actual piece and the drawings.

The difference between a copyright and a trademark is that the copyright protects the esthetics of a design, the way the product looks.  A trademark is identification mark or logo used by a manufacturer to distinguish his product from those of others. 

Every industry product sold to consumers automatically has some form of warranty.
