Why should you consider registering a copyright? The benefits for the copyright holder are significant. First and foremost, registering your work creates a public record of your copyright, notifying others of its existence and protecting your rights. Additionally, if you ever need to take legal action for copyright infringement, having a registered copyright is a crucial requirement. Furthermore, there are extra advantages to registration, such as the potential for additional damages and recovery of attorney’s fees — but these benefits only apply if your copyright is registered before the alleged infringement occurs.
