As soon as you create a copyrightable item, it is copyrighted. A copyright can also be registered, but doesn't have to be. see: http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html and also, http://www.whatiscopyright.org/ Note the paragraph "Material provided by others .." Paul Lamar's drawings are his creations, and I respect his right to limit reproduction of them. It wasn't clear if he was objecting to them being used, or being used without attribution. The patent process is lengthly and not so easy. Note: This is not a legal opinion, just my personal opinion based on past study of the matter.
