Registration of copyright – Canada

In Canada, a work is protected by copyright provided it is original and fixed in a medium, i.e. the expression of ideas is protected, but ideas that are not materially expressed are not. Copyright in a work grants its owner an exclusive right to produce or reproduce all or significant parts of the work. In other words, it is generally forbidden for anyone to copy, reproduce or use another’s work without their prior consent. Copyright infringement by a third party remains a possibility, however, and copyright registration makes it much easier to prove your ownership of the work.

In Canada, a work is protected by copyright provided it is original and fixed in a medium, i.e. the expression of ideas is protected, but ideas that are not materially expressed are not. Copyright in a work grants its owner an exclusive right to produce or reproduce all or significant parts of the work. In other words, it is generally forbidden for anyone to copy, reproduce or use another’s work without their prior consent. Copyright infringement by a third party remains a possibility, however, and copyright registration makes it much easier to prove your ownership of the work.  

In Canada, copyright is protected automatically. It should not be confused with patents and trademarks, which require registration to benefit from legal protection. However, copyright registration is advisable to protect your most valuable creations, and offers a number of advantages. Once you’ve taken the necessary steps, you’ll receive a certificate of registration. This will enable you to prove that copyright in the work exists in your favor, and that you are indeed the owner of the work, in the event of a dispute, for example.  

 

What’s included : 

  • Preparing your file ;
  • Government fees ;
  • Filing your copyright application with the Copyright Office ;
  • Correspondence with the Copyright Office regarding the follow-up of your request; and
  • Obtaining a registration certificate.
 

 

*Please note that the Copyright Office does not in any way monitor, control, use or protect your work. Thus, there is no guarantee that your property rights or the original character of your work will never be called into question. Nor is it necessary to send your work to the Copyright Office. It’s not the Copyright Office’s job to examine the quality of your work.  

*Also, when copyright is registered, it is not compulsory to mark your works with the copyright symbol ( © ). However, it can be useful as a reminder of the existence of your copyright on the work. Even if your copyright is not registered, you can use this symbol followed by the name of the copyright owner and the year of first publication of your work.

Copyright gives its owner an exclusive right to produce, reproduce and allow the reproduction of his work. Copyright protection does not require registration. Copyright arises from the mere creation of an original work.
