Copyright registration is the legal process of officially recording your ownership of an original creative work. It establishes a public record of your rights and is essential for seeking legal remedies against infringement.
While copyright protection exists automatically upon creation, registration provides additional benefits such as eligibility for statutory damages and attorney’s fees in court.
The length of the copyright registration process can vary depending on the type of work and the workload of the registration office. Typically, it can take several months from filing to approval.
Our firm works to prepare thorough applications to help avoid delays and keep you informed throughout the process.
While it is possible to register a copyright on your own, hiring an attorney ensures that the application is completed accurately and that your rights are fully protected.
