Key points
Formal government registration is not required in many jurisdictions, but local deposits/recordals can strengthen proof.
Durations, exceptions, and related rights vary; we advise per work and market.
Eligibility for copyright protection in Taiwan requires that the work be original and fixed in a written, recorded, or other captured material form. The law includes literary works, music, art, films, and other creative outputs.
There’s no need for formal registration—protection is granted automatically upon creation.
The law grants copyright automatically when someone creates a work, and there is no official approval process or registration needed in Taiwan. Protection begins as soon as the work is in a tangible form.
For most works, copyright protection lasts as long as the creator lives, plus 70 years. The copyright for works created by more than one author remains 70 years after the death of the last surviving author. For certain works like films or broadcasts, copyright duration may vary depending on the type of work.
Taiwan does not require formal registration for copyright, so there are no government fees associated with the process.
Ownership of copyright is typically not in dispute, but in the event of a conflict, evidence such as dated copies of the work and records of creation or authorship can support claims. Documentation like contracts or correspondence can also establish the transfer of ownership.
