FAQ
Can I sue for copyright infringement?
Yes — in federal court (with a registration) or through the Copyright Claims Board.
You can pursue a copyright claim in federal court once your work is registered (or the application is completed). For smaller matters, the Copyright Claims Board offers a lower-cost, small-claims-style venue capped at $30,000. Federal court has no damages cap and can issue injunctions.
