I have noticed that many menus have copyright notices on them. Seriously, if they think they need to protect the copyright on their menus, then I guess the law makes sense. Perhaps the alternative, if a cafe realizes there is no great IP inherent in "California burger.....$6.95" and the doodle of their logo (which should be a trademark if it's special) then they should just put "No rights reserved" or something instead of a copyright notice, and not claim any protection. Then there would be no need for them to deposit.
