Seems to me that this would help to time stamp when she created this to prove the date. Sort of like mailing something to yourself. The date stamped on the post can't be altered. Not that I know exactly how the legal system would work, just seems logical to me.

It's $35 to file online, $65 to file paper forms. Current e-filing processing time is roughly 2.7 months (paper filing is 6.1 months).

The only way to legally defend against copyright infringement is to register the work with the copyright office before the infringement takes place. It does no good to register after someone steals your idea and/or registers it as their own.

The answer to your questions is in the post directly above yours.

It looks like an interesting block. A secondary design appears when the blocks are sewn together.
Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

Definately write up the pattern, date it , name it and copywrite it. Publish for sure - I think it will sell.

Great job! Enjoy the ride!
