Copyright

Works of literature, art and science can be protected by copyright. Examples include written works, logos, photographs and aesthetically designed objects. Copyright protection with the associated prohibition norms can provide a basis for claims in addition to industrial property rights.   

The creator's rights to his work are regulated by the Copyright Act.

Copyright is not entered in a register, but arises - irrespective of the type of work - through its creation. In contrast to patents, trademark rights or design registrations, there is no means of obtaining protection by formal application.

A prerequisite for the existence of copyright protection is a work within the meaning of § 2 (2) Urhebergesetz (UrhG), i.e. that a personal intellectual creation exists.
