How to apply for the copyright of a picture The copyright of a picture does not need to be applied, and it is automatically protected by the copyright law from the date of creation. However, in order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of authors or other copyright owners and users of works, help solve copyright disputes caused by copyright ownership, and provide preliminary evidence for solving copyright disputes, the state has established a voluntary registration system for copyright of works (note that it is voluntary registration), and copyright owners can register copyright of works with China Copyright Protection Center or the copyright administrative departments of provinces (cities, autonomous regions). According to the provisions of relevant laws, those who apply for copyright registration of pictures, if they are photographic works, need to pay the registration fee. For each piece of 300 yuan, if it is a series of works, the second piece is 100 yuan. The applicant submits the registration application materials-the registration institution checks the receiving materials-notifies the payment-the applicant pays the registration fee-the registration institution accepts the application-examines-produces and issues the registration certificate-and makes an announcement.

How to check whether a picture is infringing? Picture infringement generally involves the copyright of pictures, the graphic registration of trademarks and the application for patent for appearance. Whether a picture is infringing depends on whether the copyright of its graphics is registered. Copyright is automatically generated at the beginning of design and is not announced to the public. It's hard to find. Even if the original author does not register copyright, it is difficult to prove the source. Put it another way, you can imagine it yourself. But the trademark is announced to the public and can be found. As far as trademarks are concerned, it is easy to judge whether the rights of others have been infringed. As for the inquiry of appearance patent, only the patent number can be found.
