First, understand how copyright fits in with other intellectual property:

Second, understand the basics of copyright law:

Third, think through the benefits of registering your copyrights:

Fourth, is it worth obtaining copyright protection for your software’s GUI?

Fifth, do you know the difference between copyright and contract protection?
