How do i register a copyright in Cyprus?

Cyprus copyright automatically exists in an original work that is created and fixed in a material form. Automatic protection is provided for under Cypriot and EU law. No formal registration process is required to register a copyright under Cypriot or EU law. However, authors can make their position at law more robust by evidencing authorship and date of origin by, for instance, notarial certification or official deposit of the work.

Cyprus copyright protects a wide range of works, including literary, musical, artistic, photographic, cinematographic, architectural, and computer program works. The law grants an exclusive right to the rights owner or the author to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, or license the work.

For those businesses and individuals that need protection, Offshore Company Corp assists in recording ownership, getting favorable contractual terms, and guiding how to assert creation and authorship. Even though registration is not a requirement, it is necessary to possess legitimate proof in case of litigation or court hearings.
