Copyrights

What Is A Copyright Anyway?

A copyright is a literary, artistic, educational, or musical work that provides the owner exclusive rights to
reproduce the work and monetize it. A registration protects the content YOU have created – think photos, videos, blog posts, books, website content, designs, etc. With a copyright, you’re protecting not only your unique creations – you’re also protecting the hard work and long hours you spent creating them.

Why Do I need this?

While your work is automatically protected once it’s been created (as long as it’s in solid form and an original work), you’ll still want a copyright registration for a few reasons:

You Can’t Sue Without One
If you’re ever in a situation where you need to sue an infringer for stealing your work, you won’t be able to do so without a copyright registration.
Infringers Will Take You More Seriously
Infringers will think twice before stealing your work if you already have a copyright registration.
It Makes You Eligible For Statutory Damages
If you have the registration before someone infringes your work, you’ll be eligible for statutory damages (this is a good thing). This is a fee determined by the judge or jury to be owed to the copyright owner (that’s you) in a copyright infringement lawsuit. Not only that, but the infringer typically has to pay your attorney fees. Statutory damages are a BIG bargaining chip in copyright infringement matters.

We’re here to help you take the infringement process completely out of your hands with one of our Copyright Subscription Packages below. It’s easy to set up and affordable for small business owners like you!

FAQ

What if my works aren’t registered with the copyright office?

No worries! Your works do not have to be registered in order to be enforced! You’re covered by copyright protection from the moment you publish your work!

What are the Filing Fees?

The filing fees are for all copyright applications. These typically range from $45-$55 per application.

What are “additional services?”

Additional services include everything not covered in your package. This can include trademark services, additional cease and desist letters, or customized contracts. As a subscription member, you will receive a discount on the additional services.

Will you recoup money from infringers?

We do our best to obtain settlement payments from infringers when we send cease and desist letters. However, we do not guarantee any payment. The chances of receiving a settlement payment are much higher when you already have a copyright registration.
