I invented a decent game and wondering how I could get it copyrighted?

Answer 1

I am not a lawyer, but copyright is easy. Proving you came up with it on, say 5/6/2007, is hard. I can copyright this by saying, "Copyright William Berry, 2007."

Now anyone wanting to use this answer for other questions must legally get my permission. I don't expect a flood of people though.:)

Now getting a patent is hard.:)

Answer 2

First of all you should make a copy of the paperwork for the game and send it to yourself in a sealed envelope through the mail. SEND IT CERTIFIED.This way you have to sign for it. And when you receive it back do not open it. TThen follow the instructions that they give you for filing.his shows that it belongs to you.The next thing to do is to write to the copywright office in washington D.C. or if they have one in your state write to them and get an application for the copyright.

Answer 3

A long time ago, I heard that if you mail a copy of the item to be copyrighted to yourself, you establish the date with the postmark. Not sure if it will hold up, but might not be a bad idea to do so.
