Canadian Copyright Application
A copyright keeps your own work safe. It means only you can copy, share, or make money from what you create. When you register a copyright, it makes a public record that shows you own it. This helps protect your written, dramatic, musical, and artistic works from being used or shared by others without your permission. We help you by taking care of all the paperwork needed for your copyright application.
Why you need to Register a Copyright?
✔
Legal Proof of Ownership:
Registration provides a public record of your copyright, establishing a legally recognized claim to your work. This can be crucial in proving ownership in legal disputes.
✔
Enhanced Legal Protection:
In many jurisdictions, registering a copyright allows you to bring a lawsuit for infringement in federal court. Without registration, you might be limited in the type of legal actions you can pursue.
✔
Statutory Damages and Attorney’s Fees:
In case of infringement, having a registered copyright often allows you to seek statutory damages and attorney's fees in a lawsuit. Without registration, you might only be able to recover actual damages and profits, which can be harder to prove.
✔
Licensing and Assignment:
Registration can simplify and enhance the process of licensing or transferring the copyright, as it establishes a clear, legally recognized claim to the work.
✔
International Protection:
While copyright registration is not required for protection in many countries due to international treaties, having a registered copyright can make it easier to pursue infringement cases abroad.
✔
Record for Future Transactions:
The registration serves as an important record, especially in transactions like sales or acquisitions of businesses, where intellectual property is a significant asset.
✔
Increases Commercial Value:
Registered works often have higher perceived value in the market, which can be beneficial for sales, licensing deals, and overall brand reputation.
✔
Peace of Mind:
Knowing that your creative work is protected can provide peace of mind and allows you to publicly share your work with less fear of unauthorized use.

Owner Information
