About Copyright Notice Generator
The copyright notice generator creates a valid copyright notice for your website footer, which you can easily copy and paste. Simply insert your website name, specify the year it was created or the range of years, and choose what information to include. You can then copy the text or the HTML code to insert it in your website's footer.
The Copyright notice serves as a public notice on your website, indicating that the content of your website is under copyright protection. The notice itself does not provide protection; your work is automatically protected under international laws as soon as it is published. It is recommended to add the copyright symbol on the website to inform users that you reserve all rights to the content.
Valid Copyright Notice
A valid copyright notice includes the following:
- The symbol ©, the word "Copyright", or the abbreviation "Copr."
- The year the website was first published.
- The name of the website owner who owns the copyright.
- "All rights reserved" text at the end, though its use is optional.
Where to insert the copyright notice
The copyright notice should be displayed in the footer of your website on all pages. Make sure it is easily accessible and readable.
