A copyright protects the form of
expression of a creator against copying. Literary,
dramatic, musical and artistic works are included within the
protection of U.S. copyright law.
The USPTO does not register copyrights. Please
refer to the Copyright
Office.
Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws
of the United States (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors
of "original works of authorship," including literary,
dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual
works. This protection is available to both published and
unpublished works.
