There’s a persistent urban legend out there that says “graphic design is not protected by copyright.†We’ve heard this from academics, lawyers, and even some employees in the U.S. Copyright Office. But is this really true? Fortunately, the answer is no. There is a legal category of copyright protection for a type of work called a “compilation.†Graphic design and Web design can often fit this category. In this special presentation, we’ll explain what a compilation is, show you a range of examples, and explain the process for registering one.
