What
is a copyright?
Copyright is a mark that indicates the owner
of the content has claimed it as “an
original work of authorship.” Title
17 of the US Code is what allows a person
to register a work for copyright as long
as it is fixed and tangible. This can include
such items as web sites, literary works,
advertisements, and so forth. See “What
types of work can I register using KT
Copyright My Site™ for additional
types of work that can be registered. A copyright
does not protect facts or methods; although,
it can protect the way these items are expressed.

Any public
domain items
or general
concepts may
not be copyrighted.
Also, domain
names cannot
be copyrighted.
In some circumstances,
these items
may be registered
as trademarks;
however, KT
Copyright My
Site ™ does
not provide
trademark services.
Can
I register scripts
or website applications?
Yes.
In order to
register web-related
applications, KT
Copyright My
Site ™ will
register the
source code.
Scripts that
are in the
public domain,
such as Open-Source
projects cannot
be registered
for copyright.
Additionally,
scripts that
are already
protected by
an existing
copyright application
cannot be registered.
Does KT
Copyright My
Site™ submit
dynamic content?
Keep in mind that work must be fixed or static,
in order to qualify for Copyright. Dynamic
content, by nature, changes; and therefore,
cannot be submitted for Copyright. Keep in
mind that Flash animation, audio, and video
are not dynamic in nature and will be included
as part of your submission. Additionally,
we can also register databases. So, just
because something is displayed dynamically
does not mean that it cannot be registered.

How
does KT Copyright My Site ™ process
my submissions? When KT
Copyright My
Site ™ receives
the application,
we review and
prepare the deposit
(a sample of
your website)
for the US Copyright
Office. We work
with the US Copyright
Office to confirm
receipt of the
submission and
then delete your
proprietary information
from our files.
Once receipt
by the US Copyright
office has been
confirmed, only
you and the US
Copyright office
have the information.
In the interest
of our customers’ intellectual
property rights, KT
Copyright My
Site ™ does
not save submitted
materials.
How
long does copyright protection last?
For many items, a copyright
will last up to 70 years after the death
of the copyright registrant, or owner.
For many works made for hire, such as most
web sites, the term can be 95 years from
the date the material was first published
or 120 years from when the material was
created. For more specific concerns, we
recommend you consult with an attorney.
Do
I get a refund if my submission is not
accepted?
The US Copyright Office has sole discretion
as to whether copyright protection is granted.
The fees for KT Copyright My Site™ are
for the preparation of the application
and deposit of materials, as well as monitoring
receipt by the US Copyright Office. Therefore,
no refunds are made for work that is denied.
