Certainly NOT! Copyrights are free and automatic from the moment a copyrightable work is created. A patent requires filing an application in proper form, with fees, examination, possible amendment, issuance fees and lifetime maintenance fees. Because of the difficulty, many inventors hire patent agents or attorneys to draft and file the application for them, costing many thousands of dollars more.
