Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture.

Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.

The primary purpose of registration is to establish the completion date of your original work. Once a work is registered, the registration file cannot be modified or altered in any way.

(Writers: New drafts are registered separately. Earlier draft registrations should not be deleted as they establish date/time of initial creation.)

Copyright commonly does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. You will have to look into trademarking. Copyright protects works of original authorship such as text, artwork, photographs, sound recordings, screenplays, music, lyrics, etc.

Our team of copyright registration experts have over 10+ years of experience in filing copyright for clients from different industries.

While a lawyer may charge you a hefty fee depending on the number of hours they worked on your case; with us, you won’t be charged by the hour.

We offer a flat fee for our services, which is only a fraction of the fee you’ll end up paying a copyright attorney for the exact same service.

Registration is not required, but registering a copyright can have important advantages, including allowing you to sue others for copyright infringement.

You cannot add to pending copyright registrations. You will have to make a new registration for the new material.

You may make a new claim in your work if the changes are extensive and creative, something more than just a simple edit or minor changes.

For example, simply making spelling corrections throughout a work does not warrant a new registration, but adding an additional chapter would.

It may take 6 months to a year to receive your certificate.

Yes, you can register more than one work under one registration.

For example, you can register an entire album, a series of books, or a collection of photographs under the same registration. It will be considered a standard application.

No, your work does not have to be published to copyright your work. You do not have to wait for the certificate to continue with publication either.
