Protect Your Creative Work with Federal Rights
If you've created original content—like music, writing, software, artwork, or videos—you own the copyright the moment it's created. But to enforce your rights in court, you need to register it with the U.S. Copyright Office. At Trademark Filing Center, we simplify the registration process and help you secure full protection for your creative work.
What Is Copyright?
Copyright is a form of intellectual property protection provided under the U.S. Copyright Act. It gives the creator of an original work the exclusive right to:
- Reproduce the work

- Perform or display the work publicly
- Create derivative works
Copyright applies to original works of authorship, including:
- Books, articles, and written content
- Music, sound recordings, and lyrics

- Software code and digital products
- Websites and architectural designs

-
Do I automatically own copyright when I create something?
Yes. Under U.S. Copyright Law, your work is protected the moment it is fixed in a tangible form (written, recorded, saved). However, registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is required to enforce your rights in federal court and to claim statutory damages.

- Proof of creation date (prima facie evidence if filed within 5 years)
