Copyright Transfer and Agreement

Copyright is the legal protection given to original works of authorship. This includes literary, artistic, musical, and other creative works. Copyright owners have exclusive rights to control the use of their work, such as reproducing, distributing, and displaying it. In Canada, copyright protection is automatic and does not require registration with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO). However, you may want to consider registering your copyright to establish a public record of ownership. If your copyright is infringed, having a registration certificate can strengthen your case in court.
