Copyright registration beat my invoice protection for once, surprising

I always told people the invoice with terms was enough, but last week a client used my logo file in a way I never agreed to and then claimed fair use. Looked into actual law and found that registering with the Copyright Office gives you statutory damages, like up to $150k per work, way more than any contract clause. That filing fee is only $45 online and it changed how I feel about the whole system. Has anyone else seen a small registration fee save their butt more than a lawyer letter?
