What is a copyright notice?

A copyright notice is principally intended to assist with assertions of copyright infringement.

Historically, a copyright notice could be a pre-requisite of copyright protection. This is no longer the case (at least in the most significant jurisdictions). Nonetheless, a notice will help in educating potential infringers, and may make it much harder to rely upon an innocent infringement defence.
