"All rights reserved": what does this mean? Copyright protection

Copyright is the system of intellectual rights of the author, thanks to whose creative work was formed work in the field of literature, science, and various spheres of art. So, what does the word "copyright" mean?

Copyright and the dissemination of this concept

Now the term "copyright" as an integral part fits into our daily life. Increasingly, the phrase "all rights reserved" is heard, and different types of products protected by copyrights in the current business occupy the most part. In addition, we are now confronted with such types of creativity, which even twenty years ago did not even guess. From all of the above, it follows that the growing importance of the notion of copyright can be explained by a significant expansion of its scope. Legislative protection of new forms of creativity has become the cause and catalyst of the active exchange of knowledge and, of course, increased the economic effect of copyright.

What is copyright?

A number of variants of copyrights are defined: they can be property and no; Exclusive and no. For a person who has exclusive rights, the only option is the exploitation of the work and its public distribution. It has the right to forbid anyone to use the result of their own intellectual work - their work. Usually this is the author's case. If he did not sign a certain copyright agreement, which he transferred his exclusive rights to new rightholders. Persons who have a non-exclusive right to creative work are given the opportunity to use it, if it is documented. Thus the author can be calm, at it all rights are protected, the author's contract of the right (if there are no such items) are transferred non-exclusive. The rights of a non-property plan are those that preclude the ability to produce what is done with property - purchase, sale, donation, transfer.

Nuances of copyright registration

A form that protects intellectual property can be called copyright. This is a certain set of legal norms that are associated with the creation and dissemination of works of culture, science, art. The aim of the authors' desire to consolidate their rights is to prove that at the time of registration this subject of copyright is in an objective form, in this case all the copyrights are already protected. When the claims for authorship collide and the question of copyright protection appears, such actions performed earlier can be very useful.

How copyright is defined and protected in the Russian Federation and other countries

The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works is designed to protect copyrights in all countries that have signed it. Accordingly, under her protection are all works of authorship of citizens of the Russian Federation, and regardless of the country in which they were registered, and whether it was done at all. If we talk about copyright protection at the international level, then, like in Russia, registration is not necessary for them. If the author needs not just the fact that all rights are protected, but the proof that at the time of registration the work is in an objective form, it is necessary to fix authorship in the Russian author's society. For situations of non-observance of copyright it is important to know that the proceedings must be conducted in the state where it was committed, in accordance with the laws of that state.

Copyright mark

The fact that rights are under protection, often, in particular on various resources in the network, is evidenced by a special sign "all rights reserved." It is often used with the name of the person holding the copyright. Immediately indicate either specifically the year when the material is published, or the time interval. A special graphic image, which stands for copyright protection, is a Latin letter C, which is placed inside the circle. This choice is due to the fact that this is the initial letter of the English term copyright (from copyright, from "copy" and "right").

The fact that all rights reserved on the site are sometimes reported using the letter C, enclosed in parentheses - (c).

It should be noted that this sign does not constitute additional rights by itself. His presence does not correlate with the licensing of creative work. The inscription "copyright - all rights reserved" is only a certain copyright certificate. It seems to ascertain the belonging of a text or a work. Conversely, the non-placement of a sign does not mean that this intellectual property is not protected.

Under the laws of the Russian Federation, copyright appears on the fact of the creation of the work. In order to protect copyright, there is no need for its registration or other evidence.

Terms of the author's right to work

The emergence of copyright, as mentioned above, is interrelated precisely with the very fact of the creation of the work. Legislation of Russia does not contain a mechanism for securing the copyright to the creation. The person to whom the work was created is recognized as the author. He possesses: an exclusive right to an object, the right of authorship, the right to a name, to the inviolability of a work, to its promulgation. Evidence that all rights are protected, text or information, due to which it is possible to identify the author or the copyright holder. Usually such data can be found on the original copy of the work. They can be attached to it, can be attached or made public via a message in the air broadcast and are thus communicated to the public.

Rights of the author of the property plan

When all rights are protected, the author has a number of property rights . They can reproduce their work, they can demonstrate it publicly, execute, import, distribute it in any convenient way, translate, make reprocessions, broadcast for public viewing on television, broadcast on air. The author is better to immediately after the creation of the work to consolidate the evidence that he is his holder at this time. In the case of encroachments, this will remove all questions. If this is not done and there are claims of authorship, the true creator can obtain evidence through a process such as depositing. Its result is a certificate that guarantees reliable protection of author's rights on the Internet.
