This is an interesting question. It looks like one could claim a copyright in contracts in theory, but there are several practical problems to making a contract copyrightable. Personally, I always thought that copyrighting contracts might make them unenforceable since copyrights could limit a public court's ability to interpret and publish rulings on protected contracts. Here are the best resources that I found on this matter: Re: copyright notice on contract http://www3.wcl.american.edu/cni/9908/23029.html http://www3.wcl.american.edu/cni/9908/23029.html Copyright and the Contract Drafter http://www.adamsdrafting.com/downloads/Copyright-NYLJ-8.23.06.pdf http://www.adamsdrafting.com/downloads/Copyright-NYLJ-8.23.0...
