is taking up to 6 months to register a copyright
of your software with the US copyright office; because
there are many applications everyday. One of our
clients waited for four months and found out that the
copyright office has lost his applications.
If you wait for 6 months for your copyright to register,
you can lose tens of thousands of dollars in settlements
and awards.
-
For about $610 USD you can expedite your
registration (about 10 days). This expedite fee is
charged by the US copyright office. For limited
time, we will pay for this fee if you decide to use
our tracking services. This fee will be refunded to us
with your first settlement check$.
