Protect Your Creative Work, Part III: How to Register a Group of Unpublished Photographs with the Online U.S. Copyright Office with Lisa Alavarez
March 30 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EDT
A webinar series about protecting your creative work wouldn’t be complete without practical tips on how to register your photographs with the U.S. Copyright Office. But what if you have an extensive backlog of unregistered photos? It can be overwhelming even to consider getting started. Ditch the overwhelm! Start the easy way by registering images that haven’t left your hard drive. In this third, 1-hour webinar of NANPA’s 3-part series on U.S. Copyright Law for photographers, you’ll learn how to register up to 750 unpublished photos at a time using the U.S. Copyright Office’s online Group Registration of Unpublished Photographs (GRUPH) application. It may seem counter-intuitive to start with photos you haven’t copied or distributed yet, but of the two online group applications, the one for unpublished photographs is easier. And by choosing easily identifiable “unpublished” photos, you’ll master the application process first before becoming overwhelmed by your backlog. So don’t let a backlog of unregistered photos keep you from protecting your creative work. Start by proactively protecting your future work while putting a cap on that backlog of unregistered photographs.
