Thanks. The only reason I can even speak with any kind of knowledge on the matter is because I had to copyright and trademark many things in the past for a business I had previously. I found out many of the steps I took for copyrights were unnecessary on a legal standpoint. It does help to have a record of the creation of the material, but it's not entirely necessary for all things. In your case, since you're the only one with original PSD files... and PSD files are the absolute beginning of the design process... that's evidence enough of the copyright to the said design. But it won't hurt to have some documentation of the creation of those PSD files as well. Then someone can't turn around and make a claim that you somehow stole those files from them, which of course they would have to prove. Either way, the burden of proof is on THEM.
