Document background
A Copyright Notification is essential for creators and businesses seeking to protect their intellectual property rights under U.S. law. This document should be used whenever you want to publicly assert your copyright ownership over creative works, whether digital, printed, or in other forms. The notification includes mandatory elements such as the copyright symbol, year of first publication, and owner information, as required by U.S. Copyright Law. While copyright protection exists automatically upon creation of an original work, this formal notification strengthens your legal position and helps prevent unauthorized use of your intellectual property.
