Where can I submit an application for copyright registration? What materials should be submitted for copyright registration?

Authors automatically enjoy copyright from the date of production of their works. Some people don't understand, since everyone automatically owns the copyright, why should we go to copyright registration? Copyright registration adopts the principle of voluntariness, and the reason why copyright owners want to register copyright is mostly because it can be used as effective proof of rights in the event of copyright disputes.

1. Log on to the website of China Copyright Protection Center and fill in the copyright registration Application Form.

2. Print the application form and submit the relevant application documents to the local copyright center, that is, a municipal copyright bureau.

3. The copyright center receives the document and makes a preliminary examination.

4. Pay the fee after approval, and make corrections or cancel the application if it fails.

5. The copyright center accepts the application and issues a notice of acceptance.

6. The copyright center examines the application documents and decides whether it is necessary to supplement them.

7, through the examination and approval of the copyright center to register, register the certificate and make an announcement.
