Copyright Costs
Obtaining a copyright is
FREE - the law provides that copyright automatically exists when a
work is written down or otherwise recorded.
Using Copyright Notice,
such as "© Shewchuk IP
Services 2004" is FREE, with no further statutory
requirements.
Registering a copyright,
if you're willing to complete and send in your own form, is nearly
free - current filing fees are $30. Having the copyright
registration form completed and correspondence with the Copyright
Office done for you through a knowledgeable attorney should still
only cost a few hundred dollars.
All costs given are exemplary only, and
represent neither an estimate nor a quotation for any project or
work previously or subsequently performed.
