Filing for a US copyright (CR) registration can be a wonderful secret weapon of any business. A CR registration provides federal IP protection that can be leveraged in a really big way. For example social media platforms like Meta have policy in place to assist in enforcing CR registrations.

Technology companies worried about protecting company IP due to cost can breathe a sigh of relief. Sci-tech companies don’t always need to rely on expensive utility patents to protect company intellectual property. In many instances, trademarks, trade secrets, design patents, trade dress protection, and copyright registrations can be useful as well in protecting a company's competitive advantage.
