Adding a copyright notice
Almost every business includes a copyright notice on the bottom of its website. This means
nothing more than the fact that someone took the time to type it out. Unlike a trademark
notice, a copyright symbol is not restricted to content that has been registered, so a copyright
notice offers no indication of whether the site has actually been filed with the government??™s
office.
Typically, the copyright notice is a subtle addition, often in small type that is not immediately
obvious, such as the example in Figure 12-2. The design makes little difference. As
long as the copyright notice follows correct structure, it can look however the developer
wishes.
Figure 12-2. This website includes a small copyright notice??”???Copyright 2007 Sigma Investing?????”on
the bottom.
