- What is the difference between a U.S. copyright and international copyright protection?
A U.S. copyright provides protection under U.S. law for original works of authorship, such as music, books, and art. International copyright protection, governed by treaties like the Berne Convention, ensures your work is protected in multiple member countries without the need for separate registrations in each country. - How long does it take to register a copyright?
In the U.S., registering a copyright typically takes several months, depending on the workload at the U.S. Copyright Office and the method of application (online or paper). - Do I need to register my copyright in every country where my work is used?
No, under the Berne Convention, works created in a member country are automatically granted protection in all other member countries. However, registration in specific countries may be advisable for enforcement purposes. - Can I enforce my copyright internationally if someone infringes it?
Yes, if the infringement occurs in a country that recognizes international copyright agreements, you can enforce your rights there. Our team assists with enforcement strategies both domestically and internationally. - Do I need to register my work to have copyright protection?
Copyright protection is automatic upon the creation of an original work in a tangible form. However, registration provides additional legal benefits, such as the ability to sue for statutory damages and attorneys’ fees in case of infringement. - What types of works can be copyrighted?
Copyright protects a wide range of works, including literary works, music, films, photographs, software, visual art, and more. However, it does not cover ideas, facts, or functional items. - How long does copyright protection last?
In the U.S., copyright typically lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. For works created by corporations or “works for hire,” protection lasts 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. - What should I do if someone infringes my copyright?
If your copyright is infringed, you can send a cease-and-desist letter, file a DMCA takedown request (for online content), or pursue legal action. We can guide you through the enforcement process to protect your rights. - Can I transfer or license my copyright to others?
Yes, you can transfer or license your copyright to others through written agreements. We assist in drafting and negotiating copyright transfer or licensing agreements tailored to your needs.
