Tips from the Insider: Register Your Copyrights.

Register your association's Web site, publications and all other important, original, creative works (that are fixed in any print, electronic, audio-visual, or other tangible medium) with the U.S. Copyright Office. While such registration is not required to obtain and maintain a copyright in a work, it is a prerequisite to filing suit to enforce your rights and confers other valuable benefits. Copyright registration is a very simple and inexpensive process and assist in the overall protection of your intellectual property rights.
