Rules of copyright law

The Copyright Office is responsible for registering intellectual property claims under all three.
The United States copyright law is contained in chapters 1 through 8, 10 through 12, and 14 through 15 of Title 17 of the United States Code.

The rights set out in the Copyright Act give copyright owners control over the use of their creations, and an ability to benefit, monetarily and otherwise, from the exploitation of their works.
Copyright also protects the rights of attribution and integrity (known as moral rights) for authors of works of visual art.
