According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.copyright.gov\/circs\/circ03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">US Copyright Office&#8217;s guide to copyright notice<\/a>, a notice has three parts, usually written together:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The symbol <strong>\u00a9<\/strong>, or the word &#8220;Copyright&#8221; or the abbreviation &#8220;Copr.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>year of first publication<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>name of the copyright owner<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So a correct notice looks like <strong>\u00a9 2026 Jane Doe<\/strong>. The Copyright Office says the notice is optional for works published on or after March 1, 1989, but it is still useful: it tells people the work is protected, shows who to ask for permission, and can stop an infringer from claiming they didn&#8217;t know. This is general information, not legal advice.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure whether you need \u00a9 or a trademark sign? Copyright covers creative work such as text, photos and music, while brand names use \u2122 or \u00ae; see our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quickonlinetips.com\/archives\/2026\/10\/how-to-type-trademark-symbol\/\">how to type the trademark symbol<\/a>.
