To own the copyright for your creative work, you need to create the work and fix it in a tangible form. This means expressing your idea in a physical or digital format, such as writing it down, recording it, or creating a digital file. Once your work is fixed, you automatically hold the copyright. However, to protect your rights, it is recommended to register your work with the U.S. Copyright Office. This will provide you with legal evidence of ownership and the ability to take legal action against infringement.
