I guess you guys at Bell Labs just know how to patent software?  :->

But seriously folks - if you put a "valid" copyright notice in your
program (so it's visible to anyone who runs it), your program is copyrighted.

If you ** register ** your copyright by filling out form TX (request it
from the library of congress, wash dc), you will have additional rights.

Try to get a copy of Reemer & Elias' "Legal Care for your Software".
