Frequently Asked Questions

Which works are eligible for copyright registration?

Registered works include literary works, oral works, musical/dramatic/quyi/dance works, art/photography works, cinematographic and similar audiovisual works, engineering design drawings/product design drawings, maps/diagrams and other graphic works, models, computer software, and more.

What are the benefits of registering software copyright?

Software copyright registration serves as prima facie evidence of ownership and plays a key role in infringement litigation. It is also an essential document for high-tech enterprise certification, dual-software certification, and tax incentive programs.

How long does copyright registration take?

Standard processing takes approximately 30 business days; expedited processing can issue certificates in as little as 3-5 business days (additional fees apply). We offer expedited services to accommodate your preferred timeline.

How long is the copyright registration valid?

The economic rights of works created by natural persons are protected for the author's lifetime plus 50 years after their death; for works created by legal entities or other organizations, protection lasts for 50 years from first publication. Software copyright protection lasts for 25 years and may be renewed upon expiration.

Can works by foreigners be registered in China?

Yes. Copyrights of works by foreigners or stateless persons are protected under China's Copyright Law and may be registered in China if they are entitled to such rights based on agreements between their country of nationality or habitual residence and China, or through international treaties to which both countries are parties.

What to do after copyright registration?

After copyright registration, it is recommended to manage your rights effectively by preserving original materials documenting the creative process, securely storing your registration certificate, and monitoring market activities to promptly identify any infringement. If you need to modify or transfer your rights, ensure you complete the necessary procedures in a timely manner.
