As a Franchise Attorney I'm assuming you are the one who has filed the copyright. Copyright infringement rights begin when someone else first infringes on the copyright. Filing the copyright with the U.S. Library of Congress gives strong rights and remedies that should be effective on the filing date. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
