Question: How is a copyright different from a patent or a trademark?
Answer: Copyright protects original works of authorship, while a patent protects inventions or discoveries. Ideas and discoveries are not protected by the copyright law, although the way in which they are expressed may be. A trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs identifying the source of the goods or services of one party and distinguishing them from those of others.
Question: What is the mandatory deposit obligation?
Answer: Mandatory deposit is a legal obligation (17 U.S.C. section 407) and applies to all U.S. and foreign publishers distributing their works in the United States.
Question: Does the copyright office have special mailing requirements?
Answer: Our only requirement is that all three elements the application, the copy or copies of the work, and the filing fee be sent in the same package.
