Copyright Notice

A Copyright Notice is a statement that identifies the copyright holder of a work and the year of first publication, serving as a public claim to copyright and a warning against unauthorized use. Typically formatted as “© [Year of First Publication] [Name of Copyright Owner],” this notice is not required for copyright protection but helps deter infringement by making copyright status clear. It also provides valuable information for those seeking to use or license the work legally.
