Sentry is brought to you by the team at Rightsify. Rightsify is one of the worlds largest independent music copyright holders with a library of more than 250,000 songs. We made sure all of our copyrights were registered successfully and in 2021 we started offering this to other rights holders and now with Sentry, a professional, cost-effective and easy to use copyright registration service is available to any copyright holder worldwide.
There are numerous benefits to copyright registration, most importantly:
1. If your work is infringed, you will need proof of registration to file a lawsuit.
2. Companies you work with whether it be publishers, distributors, agencies or record labels may require proof of copyright registration before they enter into a contract with you
3. With your Copyright Certificate, you will have permanent proof that you are the owner of your works.
Filling out the copyright registration form on our site will only take you a few minutes and you will receive an instant confirmation from Sentry once submitted. For government processing, it currently it takes 2-3 months for your copyright to be officially certified by the US copyright office. However, you will receive a confirmation code immediately after submitting your copyright which you can use to track the status of your copyright.
Yes, you can register any type of copyright. However each type will need to be under a different entry. You can register multiple works under the same group registration. For example, to save money you can register a full album of music or a collection of photos as one group registration instead of paying for each individual copyright separately.
Unfortunately not. Copyrights and Trademarks while sounding similar, are very different things. We suggest engaging the services of a lawyer for Trademarks.
Feel free to contact us anytime. Whether you have questions prior to submitting your registration or want to check on the status, we are here to help.
Copyrights can be protected for the life of a creator plus 70 years. Make sure yours are secure.
