The aptitude to express is an attribute of every human beings. When this capacity is specified through an original form, regardless of the language or support used, a new work is born: literary, musical, photographic, pictographic, computing, audiovisual… The creator is an author and the law recognize a special ownership status to him, which is limited in time and with certain economic and moral ingredients. Can I protect it? Should I register it? What rights do I have? In BGA we provide answers to all these questions.
One of the most relevant characteristics of this registration system is that it allows to protect all works performed by a person, and provided they are not simply non-tangible ideas, since although it might seems otherwise, ideas as such, can’t be protected.
This protection system keeps a very deep similitude with a Notary deposit, with which we can prove an authentic priority on time (with effects against third parties) in order to demonstrate “who was the first one”.
Regarding the protection scope, this registration system is recognized by 64 countries, the most important worldwide - see List of Countries Affiliated to the Treaty on Copyrights- and its duration reaches 70 years after the decease of the author.
