How do I retain the copyright of my work?

Copyright of your work, your IP (intellectual property), is automatically assigned once you create something in Australia.

You should have full copyright over all your IP from the moment you create it (in Australia).

Adding the © Copyright symbol will remind people of this.

This is subject to change if you sign a contract that says anything to the contrary or are working in a different country under different copyright laws.
