No, that is a patent.
Copyright is the right to copy. It applies to ideas which exist in a
tangible form.
Trademark is a mark used in trade. It applies to text and marks that
uniquely identify an individual within the context of a business practice.
It is possible for a copyrighted work to be used as a trademark. A
painting of Capt. James T. Kirk is copyright by Paramount Pictures (don't
get me started on derivative works :). Paramount has also trademarked his
likeness. So that painting is protected both by copyright law and
trademark law.
You want more than that... there is a reason they call them "web browsers".
Fair warning: copyright and trademark have absolutely nothing to do with
each other.
