1. What is the principle of copyright generation?

1. The principle of copyright generation is the principle of automatic generation. The principle of automatic acquisition of copyright is compared to the principle of acquisition of copyright through registration. Copyright is automatically generated when the work is completed, while trademark rights and patent rights require registration by the administrative department before they can be formed.

2. Legal basis: Article 11 of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China

Copyright belongs to the author, unless otherwise provided in this law. The citizen who created the work is the author. For works hosted by a legal person or other organization, created on behalf of the will of the legal person or other organization, and for which the legal person or other organization assumes responsibility, the legal person or other organization shall be regarded as the author. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the citizen, legal person or other organization that signs the work is the author.

2. Do you own the copyright for illustrations?

Copyright generally belongs to the copyright holder. However, for works created jointly by two people, the copyright belongs to the co-creator ***; except for work made for employment that should belong to a legal person or other person, the copyright belongs to the author of the work made for employment. After the illustration creation is completed, the copyright of the illustration belongs to the creator; if the copyright of the illustration is carried out in business and a formal contract is signed, then the copyright of the illustration belongs to the owner entrusted in the contract. Commercial illustrations generally also exist on a for-profit and non-profit basis. The law stipulates that after a work is created, the copyright belongs to the author, that is, the person who drew the illustration. For commercial illustrations, usually the copyright contract for famous illustrations will indicate who the copyright belongs to the client. If there is no contract, it will belong to the creator.
