"Poorman's Copyright" means to mail yourself a copy of the piece, so you
have a date stamp of when you created it. That way nobody else can say "I
created this first!". This does not actually offer anything other than
protection in the event that somebody not only breaks your copyright, but
also REGISTERS your piece as copyrighted to them, and then sues you for it.
You'll find a bit about this on www.copyright.gov in the FAQ.

Actually, no. Trademarks, whether registered or not, are completely
different from Patents.
