ANSWER:
With c-Site’s Express Filing Service, you:
- First, purchase a copyright application from an authorized c-Site
licensee.
- Second, log into your customer account and launch c-Site.
- Third, complete the simple 3-step process. Most people complete it
in less than 10 minutes.
- When you are done you will have submitted both your application and
an electronic copy of the work you want to protect with a copyright
registration. Upon receipt, c-Site encrypts your work so as to provide
you the greatest possible protection.
c-Site then reviews your application and your work and contacts you
with any questions. (Although c-Site reviews the application and work,
there is no guarantee that the Copyright Office will approve your application;
nor is there any guarantee that the Copyright Office will not raise
additional questions or issues regarding either your application or
your work.)
- Once its review is complete, c-Site files the application, your work
and the mandatory federal filing fee, with the U.S. Copyright Office,
via 3-day express courier.
- When the U.S. Copyright Office has received your application, c-Site:
(i) emails you confirmation of receipt; and (ii) deletes the electronic
copy of your work from its files – so only the U.S. Copyright
Office has a copy of your work.
- Best of all, c-Site also acts as a liaison with the Copyright Office
if they have any questions about either your application or your work.
- Upon approval – generally within 4–5 months after filing
– you will receive a Certificate of Registration as per your instructions
in the application.
