A copyright is the legal protection for patterns, board games, newspapers, articles, books, music, computer software, plays, poetry, movies, maps and drawings – among many other things.As opposed to patents and trademarks, a copyright exists automatically upon the creation of the work.

And yes, you can use the © symbol just to remind anyone that copyright protection is being claimed on this work. (Incidentally, I am pulling these symbols from “Insert” on the Microsoft Word toolbar at the top of the page. It’s easy to pick and insert any symbol you need. Copyright protection lasts for the life of the author plus 50 years and need no renewal.
