Copyrights - Practical Protection of Expression

Copyrights are a practical means for protecting original expression, including computer software. A copyright holder enjoys several exclusive rights, including the exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution. Although copyright protection in the United States is automatic, registration offers significant additional benefits, including the right to statutory damages and attorneys fees in subsequent litigation. Mr. Mitchell has experience registering copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office and in copyright litigation.
