Correct And Shorten Short Copyright Notice?
Posted on January 17, 2013.
CAN’T DO IT – must state who you are protecting by their company & corporation names. Anything else negates your copyright notice.
Copying, distributing or editing the content displayed on this website, in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited and may result in copyright infringement. The trademarks, logos and copyrights of XXX and its affiliates, including, but not limited to, W3 Web Solutions and NWR Enterprises, are the intellectual property of their respective companies and no one else.
You’re welcome!
Short version: “Copyright © 2013 XXX Inc. All Rights Reserved.”
Saying things like “property of others is their property” is a pointless tautology; it adds NOTHING.
Saying “violating the copyright laws is illegal” is pointless and adds NOTHING.
If you MUST say something (by your cross-licensing terms) about trademarks and copyrights of others, then say it: “Trademarks and copyrighted works of W3WS and NWRE are used with permission.”
Logos are included in “trademarks” so you don’t have to say “trademarks AND logos.”
