Any original writing can be copyrighted. At a minimum, I would mark any submission as Copyrighted material. I don't know the specific requirements for filing. You might want to do some net research on the subject. I would think the Fed. Government would have a web site on how to copyright material. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: Miles, Andrew Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 3:48 PM To: Nemec, Gerald Subject: Question Hey Gerald, I was wondering if you can answer a question for me. If you can't, no problem... I recently completed a paper that compares electric compression to gas-fired compression. I am presenting that paper next week at the Gas Machinery Research Council Annual Conference and Seminar. I plan on submitting the paper to several industry journals in the hopes of getting it published. How do I make sure the paper is protected from being copied by someone else and submitted under their own name? Can I copyright the paper? Thanks, Andrew
