copywritten
Bearing ownership notice
Copywritten describes material that has been written by a copywriter—someone who produces promotional or advertising text: The copywritten content went through three rounds of revision.
Often confused with copyrighted, which refers to legal protection of creative works.
The two words have entirely different meanings despite their similar sound.
