COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION FAQ

Common Questions About Copyright Registration

Clear answers about protecting written works, photos, artwork, music, video, and software.

Don't I automatically own the copyright as soon as I create my work?

Yes, copyright attaches automatically when an original work is fixed in a tangible medium. However, you generally cannot file a federal infringement lawsuit—or recover statutory damages and attorney’s fees—without registering with the U.S. Copyright Office.

A trademark protects brand identifiers (like business names, logos, and slogans), while a copyright protects original creative works of authorship (like books, photos, music, videos, and software code).

Works created by employees within the scope of employment generally qualify as ‘works made for hire.’ For independent contractors, a signed written assignment is usually required to transfer ownership.

Registering before an infringement begins—or within 3 months of first publication—preserves your eligibility to seek statutory damages and attorney’s fees in federal court.
