Type In Legal Nevada Copyright Forms For Free

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.

A work ? like a book, a song or a film ? is in the public domain when there is no copyright attached to it. This means that you can re-use that work for free, without the need to ask for permission from anyone: you can just copy it and use it.

Order forms and other publications from Library of Congress, Copyright Office- COPUBS, 101 Independence Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20559 or call (202) 707-9100 or 1-877-476-0778 (toll free). Access and download circulars and other information from the Copyright Office website at .copyright.gov.

You can place the copyright symbol on any original piece of work you have created. However, it is important to note that adding the copyright symbol does not enhance your work's protection in any way. You are merely making a statement that you claim to own the copyright.

There are three elements in a copyright notice. The ?c? in a circle, ©, or the abbreviation ?Copr.? or the word ?copyright? should be present. The name of the copyright owner (not necessarily the author) should be included in the notice. The year of first publication should be set out.
