Registration is not required for owners of an original work. Copyright protection is automatic and free from the moment a work is created.

Each of the parties to the concluded agreement, which concerns the property rights to a work, has the right to register the agreement in the respective state register. From the time of creation of a copyright object (regardless of whether it was completed or not), the property rights in full are transferred to the customer or employer.

Duration: during the lifetime of the author, plus 70 years after his death.
