2. Classification of copyright registration
Depending on whether the registration Voluntarily, copyright registration can be divided into compulsory registration and voluntary registration. Where the law requires the parties to register in order to obtain the right to register, it is compulsory registration. In countries that adopt the registration doctrine, the creation of copyright is subject to compulsory registration; at the same time, in countries that adopt the automatic protection doctrine, sometimes the law also requires registration when the copyright is pledged. If the law does not require registration to obtain rights, and the registration requested by the parties voluntarily is voluntary registration, for example, some countries that adopt automatic protectionism stipulate that copyright owners can voluntarily register copyrights.
According to the nature of the registered rights, copyright registration can also be divided into registration, registration of changes in rights (including registration of setting other rights) and cancellation registration. Registration is mainly applicable to the acquisition of copyright. Registration of changes in rights occurs after the copyright is formed. NoteDeregistration occurs when the copyright or a certain right in the copyright disappears.
