Why Register?

Why copyright registration matters

Copyright protection may be automatic in many countries, but registration adds a public record of ownership and unlocks important legal benefits.

Public Record of Ownership

Federal registration creates a searchable public record of your copyright claim, strengthening your position in any dispute.

Access to Legal Remedies

Registered works may qualify for statutory damages and attorney fee recovery in infringement cases, options not available without registration.

Import Protection

Registration enables you to record your copyright with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to help stop infringing imports.

FAQ

Copyright Registration FAQs

Common questions from clients protecting their creative work.

Federal Copyright Registration FAQs

Common questions about protecting your creative work.

What can I Copyright?
You can copyright literary works, musical works, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, and architectural works.
What is a common law copyright?
Copyright protection exists from the moment a work is created in a fixed form. However, registration provides important benefits like the ability to sue for infringement and statutory damages.
What's the difference between copyright, patent and trademark?
Copyright protects original works of authorship. Trademarks protect brand identifiers (names, logos). Patents protect inventions and discoveries.
What are the benefits to registering your work with the copyright office?
Registration establishes a public record of your claim, allows you to file an infringement lawsuit in federal court, and if registered within 3 months of publication, allows for statutory damages and attorney fees.
How does an applicant decide which category to use?
The category depends on the nature of the work. If it's a book, it's literary. If it's a song, it's musical or sound recording. We help guide you to the correct classification.
How long does a copyright last?
Generally, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus an additional 70 years.
