Here are some other benefits of registering: • If you register your app within 5 years of when you released it to the public, the government (meaning the courts) will presume you own the copyright for that app. • If you register your app prior to an infringement or within 3 months of when it was first available to the public, you may be entitled to special payments known as "statutory damages"and to attorney fees from the person you sued. For example, say you mailed in you copyright application on June 1 and then discovered an infringement on September 1 (3 months later).
