Does copyright have to be registered to be protected?

Back to Top

There is no need to register or file any documents, although that is sometimes done for evidentiary purposes. When a work is registered, an author can point to the registration as proof that he or she was the first person to create it.

A work may be registered in the [federal register of copyrights] for a fee.
