Good to know
Copyright arises the moment you create a work and fix it in a tangible medium, such as writing it on paper or saving it as a file, so it's protected without registration. Recording it with the DIP puts a record of your ownership on file with a government agency.
The certificate you receive doesn't settle ownership conclusively, though. If there's a dispute, the court decides, and the certificate is one piece of evidence it weighs.
All eight kinds of work under the Copyright Act can be recorded: literary works (including computer programs), dramatic works, artistic works, musical works, audiovisual works, cinematographic works, sound recordings and broadcasts.
We also register trademarks.
