Schaumburg Copyright Attorneys

Illinois Copyright Law Firm

Copyright protection is a guaranteed Constitutional Protection extended to authors of original works fixed in a tangible medium.  Unlike trademark law, copyright protection only prevents the unauthorized copying of the work.  Copyright protection does not exist for facts or ideas.  Copyright protection exists as soon as the original work has been affixed to a tangible medium, such as, for example, transcribing your novel or manuscript on your computer, or entering your source code into a program.  Additional protections accrue upon registration of your work with the Copyright Office in the Library of Congress.
