The purpose of copyright registration is to place on record a verifiable account of the date and content of the work in question, so that in the event of a legal claim, or case of infringement or plagiarism, the copyright owner can produce a copy of the work from an official government source. Historically, in the United States, and a few other countries, it was a legal requirement to register a work for it to obtain copyright protection.

  • The purpose of copyright registration is to place on record a verifiable account of the date and content of the work in question, so that in the event of a legal claim, or case of infringement or plagiarism, the copyright owner can produce a copy of the work from an official government source. Historically, in the United States, and a few other countries, it was a legal requirement to register a work for it to obtain copyright protection. This has now been largely superseded by international conventions,, which are designed to harmonise rights at an international level and preclude the need for national registration. However, the U.S. still requires registration for works of U.S. origin before the owner can pursue a claim in court, and provides legal advantages to copyrights that have been registered.
