WHY US
Key Points of Copyright Registration in US
Automatic Protection: Copyright protection in US exists automatically once an original work is created and fixed in a material form (e.g., written, recorded, saved digitally).
Eligible Works: It applies to original literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, and certain other subject matter like sound recordings, performances, and communication signals.
Duration: For works created after January 1, 1978, copyright generally lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. For works made for hire, anonymous, or pseudonymous works, the term is 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever expires first.
Registration is Optional: Copyright exists automatically, but registration with the U.S. Copyright Office provides significant legal benefits.
Rights Granted: Copyright holders have the exclusive right to reproduce, publish, perform, translate, adapt, or communicate their work to the public.
International Protection: The U.S. is a member of the Berne Convention, so American works are protected in other member countries without additional registration.
Application Process: Registration is done online through the U.S. Copyright Office (copyright.gov), requires submission of an application, payment of a filing fee, and a copy (deposit) of the work.
