Software Copyright Registration

Software Copyright Registration: If you publish computer software, the single most important legal protection available to you is the federal copyright law. But many software authors don’t take advantage of its protections and risk finding themselves virtually at the mercy of infringers — all because they don’t send in a simple registration form as soon as the software is published.

The Code Matters

There may be a dozen different ways to code a solution for a problem or there may be only one. Your code may be the only way to connect two databases. It may be the best way to identify a very subtle signal in a set of data. Your code may be the essential part of what makes a product, an application, or even a garage experiment, work. Just like the words of a story or the strokes in a painting, your code is a creative work that belongs to you.

Give the World Notice

A copyright is just that—a right to control who copies your work. It does not stop others from creating the same work. The code that you just wrote could also be created by another programmer in a similar circumstance. The software copyright only stops another programmer from copying your work. If she independently produces the same code without access to your original work, then you may not have any recourse.

Enforce Your Rights

In addition to making it easier to prove infringement of your copyright, registration also makes it easier to recover damages from infringers.

Enforce Your Rights

A registered copyright is eligible for statutory damages, which are set by a judge. Instead of showing the actual cost of the infringement, a judge sets a dollar amount for each infringement.
