To apply for pattern copyright registration, first of all, it depends on whether the pattern works to be applied for constitute works in the sense of copyright law. Copyright protection is original works, so in order to obtain copyright protection, the works themselves should be original. The application process of pattern copyright registration is as follows:

1. Required information:

1. Job works: scanned copies of business license, scanned copies of the front and back of legal person ID card, sample works, power of attorney, letter of title, statement of job creation

2. Personal works: the front and back of personal author ID card, sample works, Power of attorney and power of attorney

2. Handling process:

3. How to handle it:

1. Go to the local copyright registration department and apply for copyright registration protection

One of the best ways to protect copyright is to do it.

2. Or apply for copyright registration protection from the Internet

The advantage of doing copyright registration online is that you can do business without leaving your home, but the disadvantage is that the time required to register with the copyright registration department through the website may usually be slightly longer than that of directly registering with the copyright registration department, and the cost may be slightly higher than that of directly applying.

3. The most convenient thing is to find a professional agency to carry out copyright registration

Finding a professional agency to carry out copyright registration can save unnecessary trouble. Some agencies will develop different intellectual property packaging services according to the different needs of customers. For example, the respondents will have different discounts according to your different registration quantity, and the consultants of the agency will also give you some choices when registering, for example, whether to register as a separate work or a series of works, whether to choose art works or graphic works, and whether to choose physical photos or design pictures for samples. Among them, for a series of works, if there is little difference between products, you can choose one or two representative registrations, because a product registration certificate can prove the effectiveness of all series of products, so from the perspective of cost performance, you may also be advised to choose one or two representative registrations. How to apply for copyright of pictures

The copyright of pictures does not need to be applied, but is automatically protected by 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, and copyright owners can register copyright of works with

The applicant submits the registration application materials-the registration agency checks the receiving materials-notifies the payment-the applicant pays the registration fee-the registration agency accepts the application-examines-makes and issues the registration certificate-and makes an announcement.

: how to check whether a picture is infringing? The infringement of pictures generally involves the copyright of pictures, the graphic registration of trademarks and the application for appearance patents. To see whether a picture is infringing depends on whether the copyright of its own graphics is registered. The copyright is automatically generated at the beginning of design, and it is not announced to the public. It is difficult to find out. Even if the original author does not register the copyright, it is difficult to prove the source. From another angle, you can imagine it yourself. However, trademarks are announced to the public, which can be found. As far as trademarks are concerned, it is easy to judge whether they infringe the rights of others. As for the inquiry of appearance patents, only the patent number can be found. Legal basis:
