What the law says is that if you make a table it is your table and you have no need to register it. What copyright says is that if you make a table no one else has the right to make a table that looks anything like your table.

Kali Luga says "Does that mean I need to register my clothing, too? How about my pencils?

There is a lot of property that does not require registration in order to receive legal protection, including goods whose theft would be felonious."

What you are talking about has nothing to do with copyright. What copyright says is that no one is allowed to make clothing that looks like your clothing, or pencils that look like your pencils. Nobody is allowed to make copies of them, even if those copies deprive you of nothing. You are using a very very poor analogy.

And learn the difference in your and you're! Please.
