- International Copyright Filing and Registration
Creative works whether literary, artistic, or digital are protected under international copyright law the moment they’re created. However, obtaining formal international copyright registration in key jurisdictions can significantly bolster your rights, enforceability, and business prospects. Our seasoned team empowers entrepreneurs, creators, and organisations with tailored strategies for worldwide copyright protection and seamless compliance.
International copyright hinges on treaties rather than global offices. The Berne Convention ensures automatic recognition across 181 member states without formalities. Yet, many countries still support voluntary registration as evidence of authorship and date, assisting in enforcement and transactions.
Supplementary treaties including the WIPO Copyright Treaty, TRIPS, and the Buenos Aires Convention further reinforce global standards and mutual recognition.
