If that is indeed true for US law, then it is ridiculous. A writer always
owns the copyright to the material he/she creates, unless it is ceded to
someone else. The copyright notice merely draws attention to the fact. The
copyright notice on a document alone is insufficient to prove copyright, and
its omission does not negate the writer's copyright.

You can't use the "at" character for a copyright notice; you must use
c-in-a-circle for it to have legal weight. (Seriously. It's in the US
copyright law.) Word will insert it for you automatically when you
type (c) (and the appropriate AutoFormat As You Type option is turned
on).
