IANAL but:

Under the Berne convention there's no such verb as 'to copyright'.

If a work is entitled to the protection of copyright then it has it
right from the time the work comes into existence. If it isn't
entitled to it then there's nothing that one could do to change that.

In some jurisdictions there are benfits in registering that copyright,
but that's a different issue.
