Frequently Asked Questions

Is there an EU-wide copyright registration?

No single EU-level copyright registration system exists. Copyright generally arises automatically when an eligible original work is created, subject to national and EU rules.

How long does copyright generally last in the EU?

For many authorial works, the general term is the author’s life plus 70 years, although different rules may apply to particular works and related rights.

What types of works are protected by copyright in the EU?

Protection may extend to eligible literary, artistic, musical, audiovisual, photographic, software, and other original works, subject to applicable law.

How can I prove copyright ownership without an EU registration?

Businesses can build an evidence trail using dated source files, contracts, assignments, publication records, deposits, escrow arrangements, and other reliable documentation.

Can copyright be licensed across multiple EU countries?

Yes. Copyright can be licensed or assigned, but territory, scope, duration, exclusivity, rights granted, and applicable national rules should be drafted carefully.
