The way in which United States 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 official copyright registration.
U.S. Copyright Office is an office of public record for copyright registration and deposit of copyright material.
When Is Your Work Copyrighted?
A copyright is secured automatically when your work is created. You have copyright protection from the moment your work is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.

If you create an original design you automatically have copyright. You can put the little 'c' in a circle on your design to let people know you claim the rights to the design. But the rights are yours anyway - no red tape attached.
