Is there an annual fee for software copyright?
No annual fee is required after software copyright registration.
Software copyright is obtained automatically, that is, since the software was developed It is automatically protected by copyright law from the date of completion. However, in order to better protect software copyright, the country has established a voluntary registration system for software copyright. Software copyright registration is a voluntary registration. Unlike the acquisition of patent rights and trademark rights, which require application, registration and other procedures stipulated by law, software copyright registration only requires a one-time registration fee and no annual fee is required.
