If you’ve created something original, a book, a film, a song, a software program, or a design, you automatically hold copyright the moment your work is fixed in a tangible form. But in the real world, automatic copyright protection isn’t always enough.
Registering your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office gives your work stronger, enforceable legal protection, and significantly boosts your rights if infringement occurs.
At Lex Bangkok, we offer end-to-end U.S. copyright registration services to help creators, entrepreneurs, and businesses protect their valuable intellectual property with confidence.
Why Register Your Copyright?
Here’s what official copyright registration provides:
- Legal Ownership Proof: It creates a public record of your copyright, proving you are the rightful owner.
- Eligibility to Sue for Infringement: You cannot file a copyright infringement lawsuit in the U.S. without registration.
- Statutory Damages & Attorneys’ Fees: If your work is registered before (or within 3 months of) publication, you can claim up to $150,000 in statutory damages per work, even without proving actual loss.
- Deterrent Effect: Public registration can deter potential infringers who know your rights are enforceable.
- Stronger Licensing & Commercialization Options: It strengthens your position when licensing or monetizing your work.
Whether you’re launching a new brand, publishing content, or distributing media worldwide, registration ensures you’re protected from day one.
What Can Be Registered?
Our firm can assist with registering a wide range of original works, including:
- Literary Works: Novels, screenplays, blogs, academic papers
- Visual Arts: Photographs, illustrations, graphic design, branding assets

- Audiovisual Works: Films, TV shows, commercials, animations, YouTube videos
- Software & Code: Mobile apps, games, website backends, source code
