Copyright Registration
Deposit and diary for software, content, and creative works—evidence that survives disputes.
Copyright subsists automatically in original literary, artistic, musical, and software works, but registration creates a public record useful in disputes. We classify work types, deposit samples per rules, and manage diary dates for unpublished-to-published transitions.
Typical timeline
Months depending on Copyright Office queue
Term
Life + 60 years for many work types; software rules differ—advise per work
Process
Application → deposit → examination → registration certificate
FAQs
Open-source components?
We document what is original vs licensed so deposit scope is honest.
Employee authors?
Assignment and employment deed references must align with applicant name.
