copyright notice
copyright notice. A notice that a work is copyright-protected, usu. placed in each published copy of the work. • A copyright notice takes the form © (year of publication) (name of basic copyright owner). Since March 1, 1989, such a notice is not required for a copyright to be valid (although the notice continues to provide certain procedural advantages). The phrase “all rights reserved” is usu. no longer required. — Sometimes termed copyright bug; copyright legend; notice of copyright. See ALL RIGHTS RESERVED; BUENOS AIRES CONVENTION .
