Copyright registration is the legal formality intended to memorialize the basic
facts of a particular work. Copyright law provides numerous advantages to encourage
copyright owners to complete registration.
CopyrightItNow.com enables you to quickly gain access to the protection provided
by law by allowing you to submit for copyright registration in a prompt and cost
effective manner. Utilizing this program can save you many hundreds of dollars in
legal fees that an attorney would likely charge for these administrative services.
Advantages of copyright registration include the following:
- Registration discourages piracy and other unauthorized use of copyrighted materials.
- Registration establishes a public record of the copyright claim.
- Registration allows the owner of the copyright to record the registration with the U.S. Customs Service for protection against the importation of infringing copies.
- Before an infringement suit may be filed in court, registration is necessary for works of U. S. origin.
- If made before or within five years of publication, registration will establish sufficient evidence in court of the validity of the copyright and the facts as stated in the certificate.
- If registration is made within three months after publication of the work or prior to an infringement of the work, statutory damages and attorney's will be available to the copyright owner in court actions. Otherwise, only an award of actual damages and profits is available to the copyright owner.
