BOOK COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION AT MILL CITY PRESS
Copyright registration comes with every book publishing package at Mill City Press. While we don’t think there are intellectual property thieves lying in wait to steal your work, we don’t want to take the risk. Book copyright registration is the best way to protect the time and energy you’ve invested into your work.
Copyright registration also affords you certain freedoms and allows you to maintain the right to copy, distribute, and license your work. More importantly, if you copyright through the U.S. Copyright Office, you will be able to seek financial damages against anyone who violates your rights as the copyright holder. Trust us – when it comes to book copyright registration the old “better safe than sorry” adage holds true.
So how does book copyright registration happen here?
Mill City Press makes the process of getting your book copyright registration filed quick and efficient by having you fill out a short online questionnaire. When that is complete, we take care of the copyright registration process for you. As part of this service, which includes the U.S. Copyright Office filing fees, you will receive:
- The correct copyright application form, professionally drafted;
- Electronic submission of your application and digital book files to the U.S. Copyright Office, sent within three business days of completing our short questionnaire;
- Tracking of your application and book files to the U.S. Copyright Office (your copyright is effective on the date that the U.S. Copyright Office receives your application and materials, though the official certificate of registration won’t arrive until several months after filing); and
- Upon receipt, the official Copyright Office certificate of registration mailed to you by 2-Day Priority Mail.
