Do I need to register unpublished works?
You can, and it is often wise. Registration creates a clear record of ownership from the start, making it easier to enforce your rights later.
Can I transfer ownership after registration?
Yes. Copyright ownership can be transferred or assigned after registration. Our Professional package includes personalized transfer and assignment documents.
Do I need to send a physical copy of my work?
Most applications allow digital submission. Some visual or physical works may require a physical copy; we guide you through the exact requirements.
What if I co-created a work with someone else?
Works by two or more people are joint works, and all creators share ownership unless agreed otherwise. Registration can list multiple authors.
