Copyrights are legal norms for the protection of intellectual property related to the creation and use of works of art, literature, science and other intellectual works.
Most often, copyright is registered in Ukraine for musical, literary, artistic works, computer programs, photos, websites.
Copyright arises from the moment the author creates an intellectual work, and does not require state registration. However, registration entitles the author to receive a document that confirms the ownership of the work.
