The information you are referencing has nothing to do with when your computer was manufactured.

Copyright information is not always the same for every document, every hardware / device, every situation.  HP has lots of Copyrights filed with the agencies that govern property rights (both real property and intellectual ownership).

You need not be concerned about the date on the box or on the documents.  The main thing is that Copyright property / information is protected as HP authorized and owned content / hardware.

One thing you might want to know:

HP also has Copyright ownership / control over its Websites and Support.

Only HP can claim Copyright on an HP website.  Other people can claim to "be HP" but they are not allowed to use the Copyright logo or information to protect the site.
