Copyright Registration
Copyright registration is the first critical step to formally protect your valuable copyright assets.
Whether creating any of the works that fall within the subject matter of copyright, such as books, movies, music, or art, US law provides creators with the benefits of copyright as soon a work of authorship is fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Registration of your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office isn't necessary to obtain the exclusive rights that accompany the creation of a copyright. However, registration provides a number of valuable benefits, enhances the long-term value of your copyrights, and is required before you can file an infringement lawsuit in federal court or proceed with a claim before the Copyright Claims Board.
Registration requires a completed application, an eligible copy of the work, and a filing fee. Although simple in theory, the process can be complex. We guide you through the process of protecting your copyrights by preparing and submitting copyright registration applications to the U.S. Copyright Office. Once complete, you receive a registration certificate and the knowledge that you have taken the next steps to create an enduring legacy for your work.
Our copyright registration services start at $250.00, including filing fees.
