Copyright grants exclusive and monopolistic rights to works that express human thoughts or emotions, such as literary, artistic, and musical works. You are likely familiar with copyright disputes and litigation issues concerning music, programs, books, and artworks through news media.
In principle, copyright arises even without registration, but registering the copyright legally presumes you as the author. This shifts the burden of proof to the opposing party in infringement disputes, and gives your copyright enforceability against third parties.
Additionally, a copyright holder whose registered copyright has been infringed can claim statutory damages as specified in the copyright law and can also request customs to suspend the export or import of infringing goods.
At THEHO Patent & Law Firm, we strive to ensure that your works are properly protected by offering copyright registration services through our experts in the field of copyright management.
