How to Copyright your Invention
Copyright is automatic. An original, creative
work receives protection upon creation in a tangible medium.
Nevertheless the following is recommended:
Name
Date created
© on the work or the word such as “copyright”
is necessary
-
Make sure that you keep proper records
since it is the author who has to bring evidence
in case of a dispute
-
Send the Copyright Notice through the
REGISTERED Mail to yourself and keep the letter
sealed.
-
For ease of reference, keep the envelope
marked to indicate what you have inside the envelope
-
Keep an index and be the keeper of your
own records
-
Only the Courts should open this envelope
in case of litigation
-
Should you open this envelope in error
or because you have forgotten, put the old envelope
into a new one, as roof of date.
-
Although the copyright is automatic,
you are advised to put the “Notice”
on the virtual, tangible thing one looks at AND
-
If it is a CD one can put it orally on
the CD itself.
