This is a federal ruling in the United States which means that as soon as an author writes down their words, those words are protected by copyright. Authors may go a step further and <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/registration/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">register their copyright through the U.S. Copyright Office</a>. Once a registration is accepted and filed, the copyright owner is able to file lawsuits and recover statutory damages and attorney&rsquo;s fees, in the case of a trial. There&rsquo;s no reason not to register for a copyright, says Victoroff. It is one of the most economical ways to protect your intellectual property.</p> <p><span style="font-size:75%;"><em>The material contained in this video is NOT legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client or other confidential relationship between the User and the Author Learning Center.
