Copyright is a valuable asset and protects your literary and artistic works which are a result of an original and individual creative effort, copyright may cover e.g. books, computer programs, images, dramatic and musical works, films and videos. A copyright gives you as the creator of the work an exclusive right to control the use of the work. Unlike most other IP rights, copyright does not require registration in most countries. The creative work is protected automatically and immediately through its creation. In some jurisdictions such as USA and China copyright registration is possible.
