COPYRIGHT

Copyright Services

SMN Web Services provides
Copyright Registration services to register your copyrights.

A Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works.

Basic claims submitted include literary works, visual arts works, performing arts works, sound recordings, motion pictures, and single serial issues.

The time the Copyright Office requires to process an application varies, depending on the number of applications the Office is receiving and clearing at the time of submission and the extent of questions associated with the application. Current processing times are:

Processing Time for e-Filing:

(approximately 77% of all eService claims and 63% of all claims): Average 1.4 months

(approximately 23% of all eService claims and 19% of all claims): Average 3.5 months

Note: For works that are determined to be copyrightable and that meet all legal and procedural requirements for registration, the effective date of registration is the date the Copyright Office received the completed application, correct payment, and copy(ies) of the work being registered in acceptable form. You do not need to wait for a certificate to proceed with publication.
