Why should I register my copyright?

Registering your copyright with the US Copyright Office provides several benefits, including:

• • Establishing a public record of your copyright claim, which can be used as evidence in court.
  • Allowing you to file a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
  • Eligibility for statutory damages and attorney’s fees in the event of a successful lawsuit.
  • The ability to record the registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prevent the importation of infringing copies.
  • You can register your work before the infringement, which allows you to recover attorney’s fees and statutory damages.

It’s worth noting that registration is not mandatory for copyright protection, but it is recommended for better protection and enforcement of your rights.
