The Importance of Copyright Law for Intellectual Property
At Advent we understand the importance of protecting the unique creations of our clients. Whether you are an inventor, creator, or brand owner, the copyright law in the United States provides you with the means to secure your intellectual property rights and give you stronger grounds to defend against infringement.
Why Register Your Copyright?
One of the most significant benefits of registering your copyright is that it provides you with the legal standing to pursue infringers in court. If you choose not to register your work for copyright, you will still have rights to your creation, but you will not have the same level of enhanced protection. Additionally, registering your copyright also provides evidence of your ownership to the works in the event of any legal disputes.
What Does Copyright Protect?
A copyright is an exclusive right given to the author of an original work that is fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright law in the United States protects original works of authorship, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, scientific, and certain other intellectual works. This protection extends to both published and unpublished works. For example, if you have written a novel, created a new piece of software, or taken photographs, you may have a copyrightable work that is eligible protection and registration.
