Copyrighting Components
The following information can assist individuals interested in obtaining a copyright for the intellectual property of their business:
- You do not have to register with any government entity to copyright your material.
- You do have to register your work with the U.S. Copyright Office to achieve a number of official copyright benefits, such as having the terms of your copyright on public record.
- Only copyrighted materials registered with the U.S. Copyright Office can be involved in copyright infringement litigation.
- As soon as your work is tangible, be it physically or electronically, it is capable of being protected by copyright law.
