Copyright Secured Automatically upon Creation
The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright. There are, however, certain definite advantages to registration. See “Copyright Registration.”
Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is “created” when it is fixed in a copy for the first time.
PLEASE NOTE: Custom Swarovski/Cameo Lockets, Unique Wire-work style created by Miss-art have been registered with the Copyright offce and remain SOLE PROPERTY of said artist. Infringing on another's artwork is a VIOLATION of Copyright (and moral) law!
Thank you!
