Similarly to this question I need to put a copyright note on the first page of a paper. I would like to have a similar \mycopyright
command to set its text. However, differently from the other question, I would like the copyright note to appear after any other footnote of the page coming from the paper.
This is a starting point:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\author{Mr Someone\\University of Somewhere}
\newcommand\copyrightnote[1]{}
\copyrightnote{Copyright notice}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\lipsum[1]\footnote{Some footnote}
\lipsum[2-4]
\end{document}

The following patches parts of LaTeX's output routine and is not thoroughly tested, use with caution.
The following defines the macro
\copyrightnote
, it places its argument below the footnotes. The formatting is copied from LaTeX's standard definition of\@footnotetext
. You should call it either in your preamble or after\begin{document}
(just make sure it is before the first page was shipped out if you use it). The patching of the output routine is only done if you really use\copyrightnote
.With a footnote:
Without a footnote:
