HIGHLIGHTS
Concept
Copyright is a type of intellectual property that grants creators control over their creative and literary works.
What can be copyrighted?
Books, sound recordings, music, creative works, dramatic works, cinematographic films, computer programmes, databases, commercials, and paintings are all examples of copyrighted works.
Protection from misuse
A copyright registration aids in preventing infringement and safeguards an author's or creator's artistic creation for all time.
Valuable Asset
The creation of a copyright entails the creation of an intangible asset for the creator that can be sold, assigned, and given permission to use.
Low-Cost Registration
Copyright registration costs are quite inexpensive when compared to the benefits it drives. Typically, the term of a copyright work is forever.
Validity
The majority of copyright work registrations are valid for as long as the original author is alive plus 60 years.
How can copyright registration protect my work?
A registered copyright work is both an intellectual property and an intangible asset. You can prevent infringement and unauthorised duplication of the artistic work by copyrighting it. Additionally, you can safely permit others to utilise your creations under your own terms and conditions on a franchise or royalty basis. You can actually charge a premium for your work when selling it to others. Discover more
