Understanding copyright field in the iTunes Connect app submission [closed]

Question

I'm searching the Apple documentation to try to answer this question, but without success. Hope someone of could give me a "safe" reply...

I'm testing an app that I'd like to submit to the App Store for free. During form filling I saw a copyright field that seems to be required. obviously I did not protect my app with any copyright, so I was wondering how should I correctly fill that field?

Unfortunately I'm a little bit anxious about legal details, and I don't want to make something of illegal or similar.

I know that many of you submit "every day" app on the App Store, so I hope to get some help from you...

Thank you very much.

PS: I'm an individual developer, so no company. I suppose that during the first phase of app adding I do not need to select Company Name (that it cannot be changed in the future).

Thanks...

If you are not planning on doing some sort of DBA or possibly creating an LLC, then you can always just specify the copyright under your own name.

Just ensure the text is preceded by a year (in case of a Person) or, the year the rights were obtained (in case of a Company).

For Example: 2016 Johnny Bravo
