 What is copyright 

• Copyright is the right of individuals, organizations for literary, artistic and scientific works they create or own, often called copyrights.

 Who is the author?

 Why should we register for copyright? 

Today, along with great spiritual value, the art, science, logo, computer program ... also have very high commercial value. Once there is a commercial element attached to the work, there will be bad subjects who deliberately steal or copy the work. Because profits from unauthorized use are huge, while the offender does not pay a royalty and they even do not cost a great deal of research, thought or composing to create the work, this is really unfair to the author - who use the time and the grey matter to create the work.

Therefore, in order to protect your rights, the author / owner of the work should proceed to register the copyright.

 Benefits of registering for copyright: 

- When there is a conflict, the author who has obtained the certificate of copyright registration has no obligation to prove his / her copyright, unless there is evidence to the contrary;

- In terms of marketing tools, the logo is a sign that helps identify and affirm the business credibility of the business in production and business. Assert a product / service of clear origin and quality is guaranteed.

- It is a condition to prove that the product (design drawings, computer programs, research works ...) is a legitimate product, protecting the prestige of the author / owner of authentic authorship;

- The time for registration in comparison with the establishment of industrial property rights (inventions, industrial designs, and marks) is much quick;
