This article will mostly focus on book authors perspective on this matter, but it can also help you answer your question even if you have other copyrighted work like software, website, documents, manuscripts, photographs or designs.<\/p>\n

What does \u00a9 symbol mean?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\n

The symbol \u00a9 <\/strong>basically means that you reserve the rights to work on which it is displayed. Most countries in the world recognize this symbol as a manner of displaying copyright.<\/p>\n

Do I have to use \u00a9 symbol?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

<\/p>\n

Short answer – No. The symbol has only informative character and its function is only to inform the third party that you reserve the right to your work and that you are aware of your rights to it.<\/p>\n

For longer answer I would say that you should put \u00a9 symbol together with copyright notice<\/strong> anywhere it is appropriate to inform others about your rights.<\/p>\n

Copyright notice is a short text mostly including \u00a9 <\/strong>symbol which go along with your work. Its goal is to identify the copyright owner, inform the reader that the work is subject to copyright <\/strong>a deter others from infringing your rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In most countries there are no legal requirements on what must copyright notice include. Thus we can provide you a few tips you should consider when drafting your copyright notice. You can find good examples of copyright notices right under these tips.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use word “copyright<\/strong>” together with \u00a9 <\/strong>symbol.

    <\/li>\n
  2. Use the date<\/strong> from which do you reserve your copyright to your work. If the work is something which is constantly being updated, like videogames, website or other software, you should use the time frame starting from the year of first publication up to the most current update.

    <\/li>\n
  3. Use the copyright owner name<\/strong>. Whether the owner is person, business or other subject it should be clear to anyone who reserves pertinent copyright.

    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note that there is no “perfect” copyright notice. The aim of it is that you clearly inform the reader of notice about your intentions and rights to your work.<\/p>\n
