Yes Anatoly is correct. before the last revision of the us copyright act you could lose it by not properly labeling, but we're now in compliance with Berne and the international community (more or less, so called "moral rights" which arc,ear in European law at a bit of a grey area in us law.) AIR that last revision was in the 80s so don't quote me.
Americans often confuse copyright, trademark and patent. That confusion is sometimes played upon by unscrupulous companies making matters worse. While all 3 are intellectual property laws, what they protect and what the protections are are all very very different.
