Oh well that''s kind of cool. I am going to start putting the symbol on all my school assignments. Is there a governmeny agency that tracks copyrights?

I was under the assumption that R means registered trademark. (c) is used for copyrights, whether registered or not. You don''t have to register a copyright, but there is a mandatory deposit that you have to send to the Copyright office at the Library of Congress. I have the government copyright and trademark stuff infront of me right now.

Forgot to mention, you only have to send in a mandatory copy of your work, if you publish in the US. In that case, you have 3 months to send it in.

TM stands for unregistered trademark. Trademarks are very expensive to register. This is the website for the Patent and Trademark office

Oops. You might be right about that Domini. That''ll teach me to post BS.

© is copyright.
TM is trademark, anybody can do that, it isn''t registered.
(r) is registered trademark, registered with our lovely government for the price of over a one year wait, and 300+ dollars. YES! =)

So, let me get this straight.... I can slap on a TM on anything *I''ve* done, work, code, art or otherwise, as long as it''s unique, and mine... and can I do the same with (C), but it doesn''t really hold any value?

For how long is a copyright a copyright?
Was it something like 15 years?

It depends...
Some copyrights last until the copyright owner dies others for 70 years etc...
see I was right you have to register your copyright...
(It costs about £30 I think) and then it''s all official...
without it will still stand but it is harder to prove..
Check out my shadows page
and send me some feedback
