I know you're asking about registering an item within a legal database, like patents are. I would have asked the same question myself before I recently printed a book of my own.
Compared to registering a "patent," a copyright is a little different. Patents are for invented things or methods, and it's not yours until you do the paperwork. Technically, the moment an artist/writer/compiler etc. makes their work of art, it is legally theirs, whether they file paperwork on it or not. Currently in the US, any work produced in or before 1922 is now public domain, meaning it is no longer under copyright laws.
So to answer your question, items have been copyrighted since the beginning of time.
