U.S. Copyright Office Regulations

The U.S. Copyright Office establishes rules for protecting creative works like books, music, and art, by registering them and providing legal documentation of ownership. These regulations clarify how and when creators can register their works, ensuring they have legal rights to control use and reproduction. The Office also sets guidelines for fair use and manages processes for licensing and fee collection. Overall, their role is to facilitate the protection of intellectual property, encouraging innovation while balancing public access rights.
