How can I get a copyright for my work?

In order to get a copyright for artwork, writing, music, or any other original creative work created in Nebraska, you must submit an application to the U.S. Copyright Office. To do this, you must create a copy of the work you wish to register and include a description of the work. You can apply online, by mail, or in person by visiting the copyright office in Washington, DC. In addition to filing a copyright application, it is important to include a copyright notice on your work. A copyright notice will include your name or legal entity, the year of creation, and the copyright symbol (©). This notice will help to protect your work from being copied without your permission. Once the copyright application is filed, the Copyright Office will review and evaluate the application. If the application is approved, you will receive a Certificate of Copyright Registration which confirms the copyright of your work. It is important to note that copyright registration is not necessary to protect your work. Copyright law automatically protects the work of its creator, however, copyright registration is necessary if you wish to take legal action against someone who might have infringed upon your copyrighted work.
