Intellectual property is the product of the mental labor of this or that person. This category mainly includes works of art (music, poetry, scripts, films, photographs, etc.), and scientific works can also be included. Intellectual property protection is provided by the law “On Copyright and Related Rights”.
Necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - a manuscript or other form of record of intellectual property.
Instructions
Step 1
Many popular art or science sites provide copyright protection to their users. In particular, poets can count on legal support in court from the administration of the site "Stikhi.ru" if their work after publication will be used by third parties. Each work on this site has its own registration certificate, as well as additional information (date of publication).
Step 2
Authors of prose stories and novellas can likewise count on support from the administration of the Proza.ru website. As in the case of poetry, publishing there is tantamount to registering with an author's agency.
Step 3
Musicians can also use dedicated resources for storing sheet music or audio tracks. The first category is noteflight.com. This English-language resource contains a music editor, and after creating a score (select the “shared” option for other users to access) or importing from your own computer, you can consider your intellectual property registered.
Step 4
A resource such as realmusic.ru is suitable for registering audio tracks. When publishing, you indicate in the agreement that the track is your property and does not violate copyright. Thus, your right is also confirmed.
Step 5
The universal way to register intellectual property is to contact an author's society or agency. Depending on the form of organization and ownership, registration will be paid or free. Please note that each firm has several requirements for copyright holders: for example, RAO (Russian Authors' Society) requires that a manuscript, audio, video or other form of intellectual property be provided in duplicate.
