Copyright law provides protection for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Original works of authorship can include literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works including computer software. In addition, a tangible medium of expression means that the work is stored on a form that can be expressed or communicated, either directly or through a machine. Three examples of a tangible medium of expression include words written in a book, music saved as an mp3, or computer software saved on a server.

Difference The Between a Copyright and a Trademark
The differences between a copyright and a trademark is a common source of confusion among clients. A copyright protects original works of authorship, whereas trademarks protect words, symbols and designs that identify the source of goods or services. In other words, copyrights do not identify the source of a good or service. The attorneys at Tucker Law can help you determine whether you should file for a copyright or for a trademark.

Register Your Copyright
Tucker Law can prepare and file the necessary paperwork to register your copyright. The Library of Congress maintains a database of registered copyrights. A registered copyright may be eligible for statutory damages and attorney’s fees in successful litigation, whereas an unregistered copyright can only recover actual damages. In addition, registration that occurs within 5 years of publication is considered prima facie evidence of the validity of the copyright. In other words, the copyright will be presumed valid unless contradictory evidence is produced at trial.
