OVERVIEW

What is Copyright?

Copyright is an exclusive legal right granted to the creator or owner of an original work, which may include books, music, paintings, software, films, architectural designs, photographs, or any other intellectual creation. Copyright gives the owner control over how the work is used, including the right to reproduce, distribute, display, or perform the work, as well as to authorize others to do so.

While copyright protection is automatically granted when a work is created, formal copyright registration provides stronger legal standing and the ability to take action against infringement. This ensures that you, as the creator, are recognized and rewarded for your original work.
