[Tex/LaTex] IEEEtran conference with \maketitle – copyright notice (in a box with borders) at bottom of first page

ieeetrantikz-pgf

Searching for a way to add copyright statement into IEEEtran conference document I came across How to add copyright notice (in a box with borders) at bottom of first page? which concerns exactly my problem. Unfortunately the solution with TikZ does not work with \maketitle used in the document – it creates new page before title page. Removing \maketitle eliminates the problem.

Any tip how to get copyright notice into the paper?

I cannot add comment in the above question so I need to ask another one.

The simplest example is:

%% bare_conf.tex
%% V1.4

The \maketitle inIEEEtran is defined in such a way that it issues a \newpage before putting the title and friends. I have included the definition for reference (from IEEEtran):

\def\maketitle{\par%
  \begingroup%
  \normalfont%
  \def\thefootnote{}%  the \thanks{} mark type is empty
  \def\footnotemark{}% and kill space from \thanks within author
  \let\@makefnmark\relax% V1.7, must *really* kill footnotemark to remove all \textsuperscript spacing as well.
  \footnotesize%       equal spacing between thanks lines
  \footnotesep 0.7\baselineskip%see global setting of \footnotesep for more info
  % V1.7 disable \thanks note indention for compsoc
  \@IEEEcompsoconly{\long\def\@makefntext##1{\parindent 1em\noindent\hbox{\@makefnmark}##1}}%
  \normalsize%
  \ifCLASSOPTIONpeerreview
     \newpage\global\@topnum\z@ \@maketitle\@IEEEstatictitlevskip\@IEEEaftertitletext%
     \thispagestyle{IEEEpeerreviewcoverpagestyle}\@thanks%
  \else
     \if@twocolumn%
        \ifCLASSOPTIONtechnote%
           \newpage\global\@topnum\z@ \@maketitle\@IEEEstatictitlevskip\@IEEEaftertitletext%
        \else
           \twocolumn[\@maketitle\@IEEEdynamictitlevspace\@IEEEaftertitletext]%
        \fi
     \else
        \newpage\global\@topnum\z@ \@maketitle\@IEEEstatictitlevskip\@IEEEaftertitletext%
     \fi
     \thispagestyle{IEEEtitlepagestyle}\@thanks%
  \fi
  % pullup page for pubid if used.
  \if@IEEEusingpubid
     \enlargethispage{-\@IEEEpubidpullup}%
  \fi 
  \endgroup
  \setcounter{footnote}{0}\let\maketitle\relax\let\@maketitle\relax
  \gdef\@thanks{}%
  % v1.6b do not clear these as we will need the title again for peer review papers
  % \gdef\@author{}\gdef\@title{}%
  \let\thanks\relax
}

If you issue \copyrightnotice before \maketitle, first the tikzpicture is put and a \newpage is issued by \maketitle resulting in copy right with its own page.

Hence put the \copyrightnotice after the \maketitle:
