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!

Benefits of a Copyright

Register your copyrighted work before infringement for better protection

Statutory damages of up to $30,000 (for normal infringement) or up to $150,000 for willful infringement may apply. Without registration, you can only claim actual damages, which may not be substantial.

Attorney's Fees and Costs:

Registering your copyrighted work before infringement may entitle you to recover attorney's fees and costs. Failing to register beforehand means you cannot seek attorney's fees as damages.

Ease of Enforcement:

Online retailers require proof of copyright ownership, and registration is the fastest and most straightforward way to provide that proof.
