According to laws and regulations such as the "Copyright Law" and the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Copyright Law", the protection period of the copyright of works of citizens is the lifetime of the author and fifty years after his death; the protection period of the copyright of works of legal persons or other organizations is fifty years, and the copyright arises from the date of completion of the creation of the work. The emergence of copyright is not like that of patent rights and trademark rights, which need to be applied for, examined and approved by the state. It follows the "principle of automatic generation of copyright". So what is the significance of copyright registration?

1. To safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the author or other copyright holders and users of the work, it helps to solve copyright disputes caused by the attribution of copyright and provides preliminary evidence for resolving copyright disputes.

2. It is conducive to the licensing and transfer of works and software, and is conducive to the dissemination of works and software and the realization of economic value.

3. It is the embodiment of personal self - value and the manifestation of the innovation strength of enterprises.

4. Works are subject to voluntary registration. Whether a work is registered or not, the copyright lawfully obtained by the author or other copyright holders is not affected.
