Tell us about the work
A short call about the work, who created it and where you sell it. We confirm the right office and flag any authorship questions before anything is filed.
Copyrights
Your creative work, registered and protected.
Copyright protects your work from the day you create it. Registration makes it easier to enforce. We register books, music, software, art and video, send takedown notices when someone copies your work, and draft the licences and assignments that let you earn from it.

How it works
Three steps to a copyright you can enforce.
2
We prepare the filing
We draft the application or notice, prepare the copy of the work in the format the office asks for, and you approve it.
3
Filed and on record
We file with the copyright office, follow the examination, and deliver your certificate to your client portal.
How pricing works
A flat fee, agreed before we start.
Registration is a flat professional fee per country, quoted in writing before any work begins. Government fees are set by each copyright office and passed through at cost. Takedowns, licences and assignments are quoted after a short call, so the fee fits the work.
Why GTC
What registering your copyright gives you.
The right to enforce
In the United States a registration is needed before you can sue for infringement. Registration turns your copyright into a right you can act on.
Stronger remedies
Registering before an infringement can open statutory damages and attorney's fees in the United States, so you are not limited to the loss you can prove.
A record of ownership
A registration certificate is strong evidence of who created and owns the work. It shortens the argument when ownership is questioned.
Protection where you sell
Registration in the countries where you trade adds local enforcement on top of the automatic recognition your work already has.
Your Customer Success Team
A dedicated team that owns your matter from start to finish.
Every GTC client gets a dedicated Account Manager and a Senior Account Manager who learn your business and stay with you from first email to final filing. They are named people who pick up the phone and already know your matter, so every step moves forward without delay.
Your Account Manager
Your day-to-day point of contact, who coordinates every matter, keeps things moving, and already knows your file. They have your full history, so you start every conversation where the last one left off.
Your Senior Account Manager
Senior oversight on strategy and escalations, stepping in as your needs grow, so every important detail stays on track.
A named person, on email or a call, at every step.

Copyright FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Copyright is automatic when you create the work, so registration does not create the right. It makes the right easier to enforce. In the United States you need a registration before you can sue for infringement in federal court, and registering before an infringement can open statutory damages and attorney's fees. Elsewhere, a registration certificate is strong evidence that you own the work.
Original work in a fixed form: books and articles, music and sound recordings, software code, photographs, art and illustrations, and film and video. Ideas, facts, titles and slogans cannot be registered as copyright. Names and slogans are protected as trademarks, and inventions as patents.
We register copyright in the United States, Canada, China, India, Japan and South Korea. Your work is also recognised automatically in the member countries of the Berne Convention. Registration in the markets where you sell adds local enforcement on top of that.
We prepare and send a formal takedown notice to the website, host or platform, such as a DMCA notice in the United States, and follow it up. If the copying continues, we advise you on the next step.
Registration is a flat professional fee per country, quoted in writing before any work begins. Government fees are set by each copyright office and passed through at cost. Takedowns, licences and assignments are quoted after a short call, so the fee fits the work.
