How do I obtain and protect a copyright?
Copyright protection now arises on creation of a work, without formal action on the author’s part. However, it is wise to always place a copyright notice - typically a "c" inside a circle (©), with a year next to it and the name of the copyright holder on every publication of the work.

You can obtain a formal copyright, that provides certain rights, by filing an application with the Federal Copyright Office of the Library of Congress.
