Copyright

The copyright icon represents intellectual property protection and content ownership in legal and digital rights management systems. Featuring the universal copyright symbol with the distinctive C enclosed in a circle, this icon has evolved from legal documentation to become the standard for indicating protected content and proprietary rights in digital platforms.

In modern applications like content management systems or publishing platforms such as WordPress, you'll see this icon when content is protected by copyright or intellectual property rights are enforced. It appears during legal workflows where ownership indication matters, or in commercial platforms where rights protection requires clear visual indication for optimal compliance and intellectual property awareness.

From a legal perspective, the circled C design communicates more than just "protected content" - it specifically signals formal copyright registration and enforceable intellectual property rights. This protection emphasis helps in commercial applications where users need to understand usage restrictions rather than open permissions for optimal legal compliance and rights respect.

Copyright is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds CopyrightIcon to components/icons/lucide-copyright.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed CopyrightIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Copyright is `CopyrightIcon` there, used as <CopyrightIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Copyright icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Copyright is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Copyright", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. CopyrightIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <CopyrightIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. ISC allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: ISC only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

8 other libraries draw an icon called Copyright. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

Its tags are property, license, copyright, legal, protected and rights. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Copyright in another set.
