7 Advantages of Registering Your Copyright
The advantages of registering your copyright include the following:
- It protects the copyright holder from infringement: copyright infringement is common as people can steal your creations and pass it off as their own. However, with registration, the copyright holder can sue for infringement in Court.
- It establishes a public record of the copyright holder’s ownership
- It gives you the sole right to produce/reproduce his/her original work as much as they like.
- It makes you the sole beneficiary of your creations: through copyright registration, you become the sole owner of your creations, and if someone else sells it or reproduces it, you are the only one going to get the benefit.
- With copyright registration, you get validity that lasts throughout your lifetime plus 70years after your death.
- It gives you the right to easily sell/transfer or assign his/her rights to a third party.
- You become entitled to seek statutory damages and attorney’s fees in Court for infringement. Without registration, actual damages can be quite difficult to prove.
