How long is the copyrighting process?
I found this on a site (listed in the “whats my source” box below): The process for filing a registration is fairly simple. You have to fill out the appropriate form(s), pay the necessary fee, and submit the necessary deposit of the work. The forms are available on the Copyright website at www.copyright.gov, and the site also explains the fees and deposits that are required. While filing the registration does not require the assistance of an attorney, it is a good idea to work with an attorney on the filings, since the attorney will be in a position to make sure that your filing or filings are done correctly and can also work with you on ensuring that you have a clean chain of ownership of rights in your work, which is a common problem I see with many copyrighted works that can and often does come back to haunt owners down the road. Hope this helps!
