How to register copyright?

Copyright is one of the most widespread types of intellectual property, which applies to works of science, literature and art. Copyright objects must be the result of creative work and exist in some objective form (written, oral, in the form of sound or video recordings, images, three-dimensional or other other form).

In turn, the author of a work of science, literature or art is recognized as an individual whose creative work it was created by.

Copyright includes the personal non-property and proprietary rights of the author.

Property rights are valid throughout the author's life and 70 years after his death.

At the same time, personal non-property rights belong to the author, are not alienated, and regardless of his property rights, they are reserved for him in case of transfer of exclusive rights.

To notify about his exclusive right to a work, the author or copyright holder has the right to use the copyright protection mark, which is placed on each copy of the work and consists of the following elements:

• - Latin letter "C" in a circle;
• - the name or title of the copyright holder;
• - the year of the first publication of the work.

According to the legislation and international norms, registration of the work, other special design of the work or compliance with any formalities are not required for the creation and exercise of copyright.

Thus, copyright does not need additional fixation, since the right to a work arises at the time of its creation.

However, it should be noted that at any time during the term of copyright protection, the author has the right to enter information into the State Register of Rights to Objects protected by Copyright. This procedure is of an accounting nature and is not a mandatory procedure and is carried out voluntarily.

In this article, we will consider how to register a copyright.
