Every single day I have a client say, “Oh! I didn’t know that could be copyrighted!” Because of this, I’ve decided to compile a list of 50 things that can be copyrighted. I won’t go into the details about copyrights here, but you can read about the basics of a copyright here. *NOTE – these things CAN be copyrighted, but they still must meet the copyright requirements.

This is not an exhaustive list of what can be copyrighted, but it contains a lot of works that many modern-day entrepreneurs may be creating.
If you are someone that regularly creates works that are protected by copyright, I highly suggest filing for a federal registration. This blog post will explain why you need to file for the registration ASAP!
