- No procedure is needed, by creating an original work that can be copyrighted,
- you automatically gain the copyright (but if you are working in your boss'
- time, you boss will get it)
-
- It may be advisable to get some prove that you made it, in Holland you can go
- to a tax-office and let them place a date-stamp on your work, and it may also
- be advisable to include a notice that your work is indeed copyrighted,
- although it is not essential.
