Registration of copyright – Canada

In Canada, an artwork will be protected by copyright provided it is original and fixed on a medium. Essentially, this means the expression of ideas is protected, but ideas as such are not. This registration of copyright grants the author an exclusive right to produce and reproduce major parts or all of his work. In other words, it is forbidden for anyone to copy the work of others without their prior consent.

 

In Canada, copyright is granted automatically to authors. It should therefore not be confused with patents and trademarks, which must absolutely be registered to benefit from the protection of the law.

In Canada, copyright is granted automatically to authors. It should therefore not be confused with patents and trademarks, which must absolutely be registered to benefit from the protection of the law.

However, copyright registration is strongly recommended to protect your most valuable creations and has several advantages. Following the procedures of registration, you will obtain a registration certificate. This will allow you to prove, in the context of a litigation, for example, that the copyright exists in your favor and you are the legitimate owner or creator of the rights on these particular artwork. This kit includes :   
  • The preparation of your file;
  • Government fees;
  • The deposit of your application for copyright registration with the Copyright Office;
  • Correspondence with the Copyright Office on the follow-up of your request;
  • A certificate of registration.
* The Copyright Office does not in any way ensure monitoring, control use and protection of your artwork. Thus, there is no guarantee that your property right or the originality of your artwork will never be questioned by someone else. Also, it is not necessary to send your work to the Copyright Office because its function is not to examine the quality of artworks.  * When your copyright is registered, it is not mandatory to start marking your artwork with the copyright symbol. However, it can be useful to remind others of the existence of your rights on it. Even if your copyright is not registered, note that you can use this symbol followed by your name and the year of publication of the artwork for the same purpose.
