You can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office. Registration creates a formal, federal record of your creative work and can be used in court as evidence of your creation in the event of a legal challenge to copyright ownership. You can register your work online at the Electronic Copyright Office. At time of publication the fee for online registration was $35.
Every 10 years, you must file an application to renew your trademark registration. The USPTOâs fees for trademark registration renewals are approximately $300 for an electronic application and about $400 for a paper application. Trademarking a business name can offer valuable protection. You may be able to obtain state trademark registration for $100â$200. Federal trademark registration extends your protection nationwide and offers other important advantages, but it typically costs more: $275â$375 for each class of goods and services that you want to protect.
