How much do I have to change in my own work to make a new claim of copyright? You may make a new claim in your work if the changes are substantial and creative, something more than just editorial changes or minor changes. This would qualify as a new derivative work.

An author or claimant name can only be replaced, not removed, in the online record if it is a legal name change and official documentation of the change is provided. An author or claimant name cannot be changed to a pseudonym or the name of a business or organization.

Filing a Supplementary Registration The Copyright Office allows authors, copyright owners, and their agents to file a supplementary registration to augment an initial registration. Copyright owners can file a supplementary registration to correct, update, or clarify information in a registration.

If a certificate of registration has already been issued, the only way to make corrections is by filing a Supplemental Registration on Form CA with the required fee of $130.00. Supplemental registrations may not alter the deposit, but may correct or amplify information contained in the original application.

Supplemen- tary registration is the only legal mode permitting authors and claimants to augment the registration with a correction or amplification. A supplementary registration may be used either to correct or to amplify information in a registration.

In general, all you need to do is create a work of authorship and write it down or otherwise record it somewhere. This will automatically create copyright protections. In theory, you do not need to own the original copy in order to own the copyright.
