2204.4 (C) Variants for the Word “Copyright”
A misspelled or variant form of the word “Copyright” or the abbreviation “copr.” may be accepted if it is clear that the term is intended to be “copyright.” Acceptable variants include:
• Copyrighted
• Copywrite
• Copywritten
• Copyright Pending
• Copyright Applied For
• Copyright and Registered
• Registered U.S. Copyright Office
• Copy
• Copyr.
The term “All Rights Reserved” or the like is not an element of the notice prescribed by U.S. law, and it is not an acceptable variant or substitute for the word “copyright” or the abbreviation “Copr.” The same is true for similar statements in other languages, such as “Todos los Derechos Reservados.” However, the use of such terms in juxtaposition with an acceptable notice is permitted.
Examples:
• Copyright 1986 Frontier Medicine. All Rights Reserved.
• ¬© 1988 Abigail Villagros de Izaguirra. Todos los Derechos Reservados.
