Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed. See Circular 1, Copyright Basics, section "What Works Are Protected."
Technology offers a promising solution as well. The Governments of Pakistan and Tanzania have introduced smartphone apps for birth registration, which allow registrars to digitally collect and upload birth registration data to a protected, centralized system, in real-time.
Our work focuses on helping governments strengthen their civil registration systems. This includes increasing the number of service points where children can be registered, developing or updating birth registration policies, innovations in registration technology, and increasing community awareness about birth registration.
We also work with other sectors, like health and education, to integrate birth registration into their work. This includes increasing birth registration in hospitals and health centres, including birth registration in immunization drives, and linking birth registration systems to national cash transfer system and student databases.
The world has made substantial progress on birth registration over the past 20 years. Today, around 75 per cent of children under 5 are registered, compared to 60 per cent in 2000. Without this progress, an additional 100 million children would be unregistered today.

Do you find delight in the magical journey a well-written book can take us upon and wish to preserve forever? The dream of creating one's library has always been every bookworm's dream. Luckily, with today's technology and internet access, gaining access to thousands of books without spending a penny is achievable. The answer to an unlimited and free library lies in eBooks. You can learn more about eBooks, how they work, and some of the top free eBook download sites, all in the following read.
Imagine writing a 50,000-word novel without using the letter 'e'. That might seem a rather pointless challenge but you can read just such a book - Gadsby by Ernest Vincent Wright, a self-published story from 1939.
"It's rare, even without the jacket," explained bookseller Rob Rulon Miller. "I've only seen two copies in 40 years in the jacket and I bought them both. It's part of a long tradition of lipogrammatic works which goes back to the 17th century, I think. Also, it's an utterly oddball book - who would have thought it could even be done?"
The reasons for the decline in book reading are unclear, with Americans perhaps finding other ways to entertain themselves. It is uncertain whether concerns about COVID or COVID-related restrictions are leading to a decline in visits to libraries or bookstores, similar to the documented declines in air travel and movie theater attendance Gallup found in the same poll. However, unlike those activities, for reading, Americans can order books or download electronic books or audiobooks without leaving their homes.
*Note: Open textbooks are often available in multiple formats (web, PDF, ePUB, Kindle). If you are using a version without page numbers (web) or with resizable text (ePUB, Kindle), follow the advice on citing with no page numbers: the example above provides the chapter, section, and paragraph number.
The Copyright Act states that a certificate of registration of copyright is evidence that copyright exists and that the person registered is the owner of the copyright. However, the Copyright Office is not responsible for policing or checking on registered works and how people use them. It also cannot guarantee that the legitimacy of ownership or the originality of a work will never be questioned.
The Copyright Office can provide you with the basic information you need to file an application for registration of copyright. However, we cannot prepare your application, interpret the Copyright Act or the Copyright Regulations for you, or assist you in any matters other than registration or the use of our records. You should consult an intellectual property lawyer for legal advice.
If you are searching for copyright registrations dating back to 1841, including copyrights registered prior to 1991 that are not accessible online, you may wish to visit the Client Service Centre, where these records are stored.
An application for registration of a copyright in a performer's performance, sound recording or communication signal must contain a declaration that the applicant is the owner of the copyright in the subject-matter, an assignee of the copyright, or a person to whom an interest in the copyright has been granted by licence.
You can register an assignment or licence by filing with the Copyright Office the original agreement or a photocopy of it, along with the prescribed fee for each work affected by the assignment or licence. You may submit your request online or by mail or facsimile. The Copyright Office will retain a copy of the documentation and return the original documentation along with a certificate of registration.
Laws enacted by the Government of Canada, decisions and reasons for decisions of federally constituted courts and administrative tribunals are subject to special copyright rules. Anyone may, without charge and without asking permission, reproduce federal laws, decisions and reasons for decisions of federal courts and administrative tribunals. The only condition is that due diligence be exercised in ensuring the accuracy of the material reproduced and that the reproduction not be represented as an official version. Electronic copies of federal government acts and regulations (including the Copyright Act and Copyright Regulations) are available on Justice Canada's website.
First, if you have to enforce your copyright in a lawsuit against an alleged infringer, the copyright registration may be used as evidence against the infringing party that pleads "innocent infringement." An "innocent infringer" can argue in court that they were unaware of any copyrights in the infringed work due to the lack of registration. The courts will generally award lesser penalties if indeed the infringer is found to be an "innocent infringer."
When the duration of copyright protection expires, works fall into the public domain and are free to be used and enjoyed by anyone without the need to acquire permission. For example, William Shakespeare's plays are part of the public domain, and therefore everyone may produce or publish them without having to acquire permission or pay royalties.
In order to register your copyright you must file an application accompanied by the appropriate fee to the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO), a federal agency responsible for the administration and processing of intellectual property rights in Canada, including the registration of copyrights.
You can file your application for copyright registration with CIPO electronically, by mail or by fax. Applications submitted electronically pay a fee of $50 (CAD), whereas any application submitted via mail or fax will pay a fee of $65 (CAD).
While there is no international copyright registration system, there are international treaties and conventions, such as the Berne Convention and the WIPO Copyright Treaty, that may extend copyright protection in foreign jurisdictions without having to obtain copyright registration. These international agreements require members to recognize the copyright of authors and rights holders from other signatory nations as if the work was created within the member's jurisdiction.
However, in the absence of a singular international registration system, a rights holder would have to file separate applications in each jurisdiction's intellectual property office in order to obtain individual certificates of registration.
No, the Copyright Office does not require a copy of the work for registration. The Copyright Office does not accept copies of works submitted with copyright application forms at the time of filing, nor after registration.
However, under the Library and Archives of Canada Act and the Legal Deposit of Publications Regulations, Canadian publishers are obliged to send copies of their publications to Library and Archives Canada within one week of the date they are published. Note that depositing published materials with Library and Archives Canada does not, however, constitute or convey formal copyright registration or protection.
To register an assignment, a copy of the original transfer agreement or a photocopy signed by both parties must be filed with the Copyright Office along with the prescribed fee of $65 (CAD) per work. You must also include the names or the registration numbers of the affected works. Requests may be submitted by mail, by fax or online.
Copyright infringement occurs where a person wrongfully uses your work without your permission or does anything only an owner is allowed to do, as stated in the Copyright Act. Infringement may include acts such as copying, performing, selling/distributing or posting your work on the internet without your permission. The Copyright Office does not offer advice as to whether a particular act constitutes infringement. Any such issues should be resolved with the help of a legal professional knowledgeable in the area of intellectual property.
