It might be a book, or a song, or a promotional video. Whatever it is you have created, you have learned that registering copyright gives you some added rights that unregistered works do not enjoy. What are those additional rights and when should you register the materials at the Copyright Office?<\/p>\n<p>The short answer is that you should register your creative work within 90 days after you first publish it.<\/p>\n<p>If you do that, then you will enjoy the right to statutory damages if you must sue someone for infringing your copyrighted work. That means that you will not have to prove your damages, you can just sue them for the maximum legal amount of $150,000 per copyrighted work. If your actual damages are more than that, you may always sue for your actual damages instead.<\/p>\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<article id=\"post-6466\" class=\"post-6466 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-commercial-lease category-contracts-legal category-entrepreneurship category-intellectual-property category-licenses\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-standard-style\">\n<div class=\"blog-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<article id=\"post-6458\" class=\"post-6458 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-contracts-legal category-government-regulations-and-compliance\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-standard-style\">\n<div class=\"blog-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<article id=\"post-6377\" class=\"post-6377 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-branding category-intellectual-property category-trademarks\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-standard-style\">\n<div class=\"blog-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<article id=\"post-6348\" class=\"post-6348 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-entrepreneurship\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-standard-style\">\n<div class=\"blog-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<article id=\"post-6141\" class=\"post-6141 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-business-formation category-corporate-law category-entrepreneurship category-government-regulations-and-compliance category-limited-liability-company-llc category-registered-agent\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-standard-style\">\n<div class=\"blog-content-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"gdlr-blog-content\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Entrepreneurs are going to save the world, and Argent Place Law wants to help.
