Secure Copyright Protection for Your Work

When you create an original work — like a book, song, logo, or even software — it’s automatically protected by copyright as soon as it’s saved, written down, or recorded in a tangible form.

But to fully protect your rights, registration with the U.S. Copyright Office is a critical next step. Without it, you may have trouble enforcing your rights or recovering damages if someone uses your work without permission.

At Larson & Larson, we help creators, professionals, and businesses register their copyrights so they can publish, license, and profit from their work with confidence.

Not sure whether your logo needs copyright or trademark protection? This guide explains the difference.

What’s Included in Our Copyright Registration Service

Our legal team will guide you through the entire registration process, including:

• Initial consultation to review your creative work and determine if it qualifies for copyright protection
• Preparation of your application to ensure all required information is accurately completed and properly formatted
• Submission to the U.S. Copyright Office through the appropriate electronic or paper filing channels
• Monitoring and follow-up to address any questions or clarification requests from the Copyright Office
• Proof of registration, once approved, including a certificate you can use to enforce your rights

We go beyond just filing forms. We’ll help you understand the benefits of registration, how to strengthen your protection, and what to do if your work is misused.

Timeline and Fees

Copyright registration typically takes several months; however, filing as early as possible is important because certain rights, like the ability to sue for infringement, depend on registration.

Most copyright registration services fall between $500 and $1,000, depending on the type and complexity of your work. Simple filings, like a single, unpublished work with one author, typically fall on the lower end. Fees may be higher for works with multiple components, shared ownership, prior publication, or if expedited processing is needed.

We’ll provide a fee quote upfront so you know what to expect.
