Copyright info

I HAVE BEEN PUTTING COPYRIGHTS ON SOME NEW PATTERNS I AM GOING TO SELL AS PATTERNS, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE THE INFO WITH YOU TO HELP ANYONE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO DO THE SAME.

GO TO http://www.copyright.gov

GO TO THE FORM AREA AND PRINT OFF SHORT FORM VA

WHEN YOU FILL IT OUT YOU HAVE A CONFUSING CHOICE ON QUESTION NUMBER 5. IT IS TYPE OF AUTHORSHIP. IF IT IS TO BE SOLD AS A PATTERN, YOU CHOOSE 3 DIMENSIONAL SCULPTURE. IF IT IS TO BE SOLD ALREADY MADE IT IS A 2 DIMENSIONAL ARTWORK.

THE FEE IS THIRTY DOLLARS.

THERE ARE OTHER FORMS BUT THE VA FORM IS FOR ARTS AND CRAFTS.

THERE IS ALSO A LONGER VA FORM WHICH IS TO BE USED IF IT IS A PARTNERSHIP, NOT DONE BY JUST ONE PERSON. THE SHORTER FORM IS WHAT I USE BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED BY ME AND ALSO IT IS SO EASY TO FILL OUT. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU ALL OUT.

Thanks for the info, Apple! Is the $30 for every pattern or can you do a pattern grouping?

THATS A GOOD QUESTION SHER...I REALLY DON'T KNOW BUT I HAD WONDERED ABOUT THAT. IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER IF YOU WANTED TO DO LETS SAY 3 SMALL WOOD CRAFTS SOLD IN ONE PATTERN.I AM GOING TO CHECK IT OUT. IN THE MEANTIME IF ANYONE HAS THE ANSWER LET US KNOW.
