Once an individual has completed work and gets it registered for copyright at the copyright office in the United States, the owner of the work derives various rights for his work, including reproduction of the work, displaying the work in the public for monetary purposes, creating derivatives of the work, etc. These rights are inherited because of the authorship and original nature of the work, and no other individual can enjoy these rights unless the owner licenses the rights through Copyright Licensing. This article will see what copyright licensing is and how it exists in the United States.
Copyright is essential to protect the original authorship rights of an individual. Thousands of persons living in the United States come up with lots of new and original work daily that are creative and unique and can be a revenue source.

A copyright is a type of legal protection granted by the United States to authors of “original works of authorship” fixed in any physical medium of expression. Fixation methods and mediums are nearly limitless. Words, figures, notes, sounds, photographs, or any other graphic or symbolic media can be used to capture creative expression. Copyright covers a wide range of works, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, audiovisual, and architectural works. Both published as well as unpublished works are under protection.
