Copyright registration is a legal process that provides formal recognition of an individual’s or organization’s ownership of creative work. It applies to original works like literature, music, art, software, and films, protecting them from unauthorized use. While copyright protection exists automatically upon creation, registering your work with the relevant copyright office strengthens your rights.
Registration grants several benefits, such as public record of ownership, eligibility to sue for infringement, and the ability to seek statutory damages and attorney’s fees in court. The process typically involves submitting a completed application, a copy of the work, and a nominal fee.
By safeguarding intellectual property, copyright registration empowers creators to maintain control over their work and reap the rewards of their efforts.
