A copyright notice is optional for unpublished works, foreign works, and works published after March 1, 1989, when the United States signed on to the Berne Convention. Even though you are no longer required to use the copyright notice on published works, you should, because it adds an extra layer of protection.

The U.S. Copyright Office maintains records of registered works by author and title, some of which may be searched online. More information can be found in the Copyright Office Circular 22 – How to Investigate the Copyright Status of a Work, or by calling the Copyright Office at (202) 707-9100.

There are only four simple components you need to include: The copyright symbol © or the word “copyright” The name of the copyright owner or author of the work. The year the content was published, which can be different from the year of creation.

The notice must contain the following three elements: The symbol © (the letter in a circle), or the word "Copyright" The year of publication (i.e., the year in which you are filing your manuscript) The name of the copyright owner (i.e., your name as it appears on the Title Page)

In general, the copyright lasts for the duration of the author's life plus 70 years. If the work is done anonymously or under a pseudonym, the period extends for 95 years beyond the publication of the work or 120 years from the creation of the work, whichever is shorter.

To calculate actual damages, courts often consider the following: Market Value: The lost licensing fees or royalties the copyright owner would have earned if the infringer had obtained permission. Lost Sales: The revenue lost from sales that did not occur due to the infringement.
