Creating jobs for America's future with its extraordinary ability to innovate! 
Copyrights define a multitude of creative subject matter. But generally speaking, in the world of invention, copyrights may cover the following:
- Writings, books, booklets, anything written.
- Artwork, include original designs, color themes and so on.
- Drawings such as designs and blueprints.
- Any video taped media.
- The written computer code underlying software or web design.
There are several good opportunities for inventors to secure copyright protection for their innovations. For example:
- Computer code for related software.
- Packaging designs.
- Plans and blueprints.
- Software code.
- Training manuals and videos.
- Website designs.
- Other designs related to your invention.
Our Quick Start Guide shows how to identify and initiate copyright protection in just a few minutes. To formally claim your legal rights to copyrights, all that's required is proper notice. As illustrated in the Quick Start Guide.
Some copyrights may be filed at the US Copyright and may be searched online through IPSearchLink.
Just like trademarks, copyrights tend to endure the long-term. They remain valid for 70 years after the death of the author. Thus, the branded product line may endure for decades, centuries even, building up tremendous value.
Remember, you want to build a complete portfolio, not just "get a patent". In the long-run your copyrights will help boost your portfolio's value.
FPTP members also have one-click access to the Copyright office to register their copyrights online, or our legal support can help you if you want.
