Copyright protection

The term copyright – also known as “author’s right” – is used to define a set of intellectual property rights that creators have over their work. The subject of copyright can vary, from books, to songs, to even photographs or computer programs. By simply creating the work, most countries “grant” copyright automatically to the author (or authors) from the day it was created. However, should a conflict ever come up regarding that specific artwork, proving the specific day of creation can become burdensome. This date is also important even in non-conflictual scenarios, like financial transactions, sales or transfers. To obtain secured and official evidence, you need to file for a voluntary registration through various systems offered in multiple jurisdictions, known as Copyright registration.

Copyright protection is applicable to a very wide range of creations, such as:

  • literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works, newspaper articles.
  • computer programs, databases, source code, websites contain.
  • films, musical compositions, and choreography.
  • artistic works such as paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculpture.
  • architecture.
  • advertisements, maps, and technical drawings.
