Copyright

Registration of creative works — texts, illustrations, music, projects, audiovisual — to prove authorship and date.

What you need to know

In Brazil copyright protection arises with the creation of the work, without depending on registration. What registration does is produce evidence: a certain date and an official deposit of the work, enforceable against anyone who later claims authorship.

The registering body depends on the nature of the work — the National Library for texts and music, the School of Fine Arts for visual arts, professional councils for technical projects. Regicenter identifies the competent body, organises the documentation and handles the deposit. Trademark and copyright protect different things: a logo can be covered by both, and the strategy usually combines them.
