From the U.S. Copyright Office:
• A Copyright is a type of intellectual property that protects original works of authorship as soon as an author fixes the work in a tangible form of expression. In copyright law, there are a lot of different types of works, including paintings, photographs, illustrations, musical compositions, sound recordings, computer programs, books, poems, blog posts, movies, architectural works, plays, and so much more!
• The symbol “©” denotes copyrighted material.
It’s Value Explained in Chapter 6 of “As Stolen on TV” © 2019 Randy Cooper Foundation, authored by Paula Brillson Phillips:
• “The copyright is so overlooked that even product attorneys forget what a powerful member of the IP protection league it is. For example, patent rights enforcement is technical and complex and often requires long, costly legal battles with Tony Stark caliber experts to prove infringement. However, copyrights, which protect property such as images, illustrations, infomercials, and product packaging, are pretty easy to eyeball, even for an untrained juror.”
• “Copyright is also the most affordable IP protection to secure, (e.g., $35 per image to register and $55 to register up to 750 images).
Moreover, copyright infringement triggers statutory damages that can soar up to $30,000 per occurrence; plus, recovery of attorney’s fees if you file your copyright within 90 days of using it. As such, trial attorneys are more willing to take on a (properly registered) copyright infringement case on a contingency basis, which means you won’t have to pay anything upfront. Of course, statutory damages are merely a fallback, with many product owners wanting to recover actual damages (i.e, lost profits), which is an entirely different hulk of a task.”
• “Additionally, the copyright is the only member of the IP protection league that successfully combats counterfeit sales on platforms such
as Amazon; trademark registration alone will not suffice to remove counterfeits on Amazon. To be sure, the counterfeit seller merely has to allege that it is selling a legitimate product, and then there is no infringement thanks to the First Sale Doctrine (This provides that an individual who purchases a copy of a copyrighted work owns the title to it. He or she can sell, display or otherwise dispose of that particular copy, without violating the rights of the copyright owner). Counterfeiters tend to overlook this salient point when they use original images to promote products online.”
