Copyright Registration for Business Owners.
You've Built Something Brilliant. Now Let's Make Sure It's Legally Yours.
Your frameworks, courses, content, and creative work are assets — not just deliverables. We help you register and protect them so no one else can claim, copy, or profit from what you built.
Why it matters
Your Work Has Value. Your Protection Should Match It.
You used your education, your experience, and your expertise to create something original. A curriculum. A signature framework. A course. A body of work that took years to develop.
The moment it’s fixed in a tangible form — written, recorded, designed — copyright exists automatically. But automatic isn’t the same as protected.
Without federal copyright registration, you have limited ability to enforce your rights, collect damages, or stop someone from using your work without permission. Registration is what gives you the legal standing to act.
We make that process simple, strategic, and done for you.
- Establish a federal public record of ownership
- Gain the legal standing to enforce your rights in court
- Access statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringement
- Protect the work your business is built on
What we can register
- Curricula and training programs
- Online courses and digital products
- Workbooks and worksheets
- Books and e-books
- Website and sales copy
- Recorded training sessions
- Blog articles and written content
- Podcast content
- Marketing collateral
- Business logos
- Video content
- Frameworks and methodologies
“Your intellectual property deserves more than protection. It deserves positioning.”

$875
Including the U.S. Copyright Office filing fee up to $85. No surprise fees. One flat rate for attorney-led registration from start to finish.
- $875 to put a federal record behind the work you've already done
- $875 to give yourself the legal standing to enforce your rights
- $875 to protect an asset your business will build on for years
Who this is for
- You've built a course, curriculum, or training program you want to protect
- You're a consultant or coach with original frameworks and methodologies
- You create content — written, recorded, or designed — that drives your business
- You're preparing to license your work or scale your offerings
- You want the legal standing to act if someone copies what you've built

Hobbyists or those with informal creative work who aren’t building a business around it.

As a small business owner, navigating the many compliance requirements and protecting my hard work can be challenging. While researching on my own is helpful, it doesn't compare to the dedication and support provided by Off The Mark IP Solutions. From initial agreements to understanding my business needs, and through all follow-up steps, their service was truly unmatched. Running a business keeps me busy, so having this team handle my trademark process was an absolute blessing.Posted on Google![]()

Off the Mark IP Solutions continues to exceed expectations! I’ve worked with Off the Mark IP Solutions in the past to trademark my brand, and once again, their professionalism, clarity, and genuine support stood out during my recent consultation. The team has always been incredibly helpful, offering valuable feedback on my brand and guiding me toward the best trademark class for protection. During my latest meeting, I had several complex questions about brand visibility, tech challenges, trademark timing, and copyright concerns when using AI. Not only did the consultant answer thoughtfully, but they also posed insightful questions that helped me better understand my own goals and commitment to growing my brand. I especially appreciated the personalized feedback, the troubleshooting support (even though time was limited), and the invitation to a future webinar that directly addresses one of my concerns. The follow-up was equally impressive, receiving a summary of the meeting and clear next steps via email reinforced just how organized and client-focused this firm is. I’m grateful for their guidance and look forward to continuing to work with them on my upcoming projects. Highly Recommended!!!Posted on Google![]()

The road to accomplishing United States Trademark Certificate was long. Yet this team made me feel as though I filed the applicant and received a certificate when I woke the next day. I definitely advise anyone looking to protect their Intellectual Property and secure their legacy to choose Attorney Murray and her competent team of professionals to handle the dirty work.Posted on Google![]()

I found this firm after receiving clear directions to protect my brand. There were several options and before choosing I researched each, then prayed. After prayer I was led to choose Attorney LaConya Murray. The date was 6/8/21. After a consultation that didn't leave me pressured to buy anything from her, I felt totally confident. Entrusting this process to the Off The Mark team was truly a wise decision. The process was time consuming as it took almost 3.5 years to obtain our certificate. During that time I was able to focus on other things vital to building the brand. They were efficient and professional in keeping me updated throughout the process. Attorney Murray was reachable and patient in explaining simple concepts that proved foriegn to me. In the very near future I will be using the service again to file other trademarks. I strongly suggests that if you're serious about branding your business & creations, to give them your baby. Don't cheat your legacy trying to so it all alone.

I initially engaged LaConya Murray to support my company with navigating a trademark application and subsequently decided to enter into a retainer relationship with her via Off the Mark IP Solutions. I am SO glad that I did. LaConya is a thoughtful strategist who has the IP and contracts expertise and the business savvy to help me navigate all of my business needs. I also appreciate her sense of humor and willingness to get to know me as a person, which enhances her ability to effectively support me as a thought partner. I highly recommend LaConya and the OTM program.
Common questions
You have questions, we have answers
Copyright protects original works fixed in a tangible form — written, recorded, or designed. For business owners that means curricula, courses, workbooks, website copy, videos, podcast content, frameworks, and more.
Yes — but unregistered copyright gives you very limited legal recourse. Federal registration is what gives you the ability to sue in federal court, claim statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringement, and recover attorney’s fees.
The U.S. Copyright Office typically processes applications within 3 to 12 months. We’ll keep you updated throughout and handle all communication with the Copyright Office on your behalf.
It depends on the type of works and whether they qualify for group registration. We’ll assess your specific portfolio during the discovery call and advise on the most efficient approach.
No. You can register unpublished works, and doing so before publication is often the smartest move — it establishes your ownership on record before your work is publicly available.
