Why register copyright?

Copyrights give the owner of specific content the exclusive rights to reproduce or distribute copies of the work, prepare derivative works, and perform, display, and broadcast the work publicly. Additionally, if someone has copyright ownership, they can allow others to utilize these exclusive rights as well.

One question that comes up often is why anyone would take the additional steps and expenses to register their copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Presumption of Ownership
Ability to Initiate Infringement Lawsuit

David Managing Director

I initially found USIP Office through a google search and made contact with them online. I received a very quick reply from Paul and she has been very professional and offered sound advice with my trademark applications. Their promptness and accurate advice gave me every confidence in the service they provide and I will definitely be using them for legal matters again in the future. Thank you Paul!

Sandra CEO/Founder

Paul was always very thorough and clear in his explanations, and timely with sending reminders about renewals and next steps. Highly recommended!

John CEO/Founder

A massive Thank You to Paul and the team for a very fast and efficient filing. As it was started late Friday afternoon, I did not expect to have the process done until middle of the following week.by Sunday it was done. “Dedication” and “Passionate” are two words that come to mind. I look forward to working with Paul on future projects. Brilliant effort!

FAQs

Copyright Registration

What is copyright?

Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.
What does copyright protect?

Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture.

Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.
Can I add to/update my registration after registering?

The primary purpose of registration is to establish the completion date of your original work. Once a work is registered, the registration file cannot be modified or altered in any way.

(Writers: New drafts are registered separately. Earlier draft registrations should not be deleted as they establish date/time of initial creation.)
Does copyright protect names or titles?

Copyright commonly does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. You will have to look into trademarking. Copyright protects works of original authorship such as text, artwork, photographs, sound recordings, screenplays, music, lyrics, etc.
Why choose your agency over a law firm or an attorney?

Our team of copyright registration experts have over 10+ years of experience in filing copyright for clients from different industries.

While a lawyer may charge you a hefty fee depending on the number of hours they worked on your case; with us, you won’t be charged by the hour.

We offer a flat fee for our services, which is only a fraction of the fee you’ll end up paying a copyright attorney for the exact same service.
Why should you file for copyright certification?

Registration is not required, but registering a copyright can have important advantages, including allowing you to sue others for copyright infringement.
What if I make changes to my work after it is registered?

You cannot add to pending copyright registrations. You will have to make a new registration for the new material.

You may make a new claim in your work if the changes are extensive and creative, something more than just a simple edit or minor changes.

For example, simply making spelling corrections throughout a work does not warrant a new registration, but adding an additional chapter would.
How long does it take to receive my certificate?

It may take 6 months to a year to receive your certificate.
Can I register multiple works under one registration?

Yes, you can register more than one work under one registration.

For example, you can register an entire album, a series of books, or a collection of photographs under the same registration. It will be considered a standard application.
Does my work have to be published to be registered for copyright?

No, your work does not have to be published to copyright your work. You do not have to wait for the certificate to continue with publication either.
