Copyrights
Copyrights are how artists, musicians, and writers protect their work. Although a copyright exists as soon as the work is created, a copyright has to be registered before you can bring lawsuits against someone for infringement. Therefore, in many cases, although you have a copyright in theory, it needs to be registered to actively protect it.
While you might be able to register the work on your own or have a filing service handle the registration, this could be ineffective for your situation. Certain questions need to be asked, such as whether your work can be registered, whether it is a parody of another work, and whether you need copyright protection in other countries.
Owings Law can help you answer these questions, register your work, protect against later problems, and address any challenges that arise in the future. Filing a copyright may be less expensive than you think, but provide you with significant legal protection that covers your particular art.
