Copyright Protection For Jewelry Seems Tangled

By Amy Goldsmith (February 26, 2019, 4:04 PM EST) -- You're a jewelry designer. (Or you represent one.) After years of studying design and working for other designers, you have finally developed your own jewelry collection. It debuts to rave reviews: the trade, consumers, the press and other jewelry designers are calling it "unique, original and innovative." Except for the U.S. Copyright Office, which has rejected each piece in your collection as not "sufficiently original" and not even "minimally creative." You are crushed and ask: Why? What can you do now? Why is a copyright registration important, anyway?...
