Copyrights can be an important asset when building your private label business. When you create a design, logo, or other “original work”, you are entitled to copyright protection. While different from a patent or trademark, Copyright protection is part of a comprehensive intellectual property protection strategy, such as our strategy to prevent listing hijacking.

While you are not required to register your copyright to receive copyright protections, you are required to register your copyright with the United States Copyright Office in order to bring a lawsuit against someone who is violating your copyright rights. Another major benefit of obtaining a copyright has to do with attorneys fees- if you bring a lawsuit against someone for infringing on your copyright and win, you are entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs from them.

Our eComAttorneys can assist you with registering your copyright with the United States Copyright Office, and can also help you in the event someone is infringing on your copyright rights. Contact FRS today for more information.
