Get the protection your creative work deserves with copyrights! When you create something original, your copyright is automatically established. But for extra enforcement power, it's smart to register it with the Copyright Office. This process involves submitting a federal application along with a copy of your work as a deposit.
Once registered, you gain stronger legal protection against unauthorized copies. Remember, copyrights protect how your ideas are expressed, not the ideas themselves. The application process usually takes 4-5 months, but it's totally worth it. Your protection will go back to the date you applied once approved. Safeguard your creations today!
