The copyright registration certificate was a preliminary proof of the registered items, and it was a legal confirmation of the personal rights and property rights of the copyright owner's work. The work registration certificate was a kind of copyright registration certificate. It was a certificate for claiming rights, resolving ownership disputes, and conducting judicial proceedings. It provided security measures for the copyright owner to enjoy and exercise copyright. In China, copyright was created on the day the work was created. Registration of copyright was not a prerequisite for obtaining copyright. The copyright owners, including natural persons, enterprises, merchants, party and government organs, institutions, social associations, etc., could register their copyrights. All kinds of works stipulated in article 3 of China's copyright law, such as written works, oral works, music, plays, etc., could apply for copyright registration and obtain the corresponding copyright registration certificate.
The copyright registration certificate, also known as the work registration certificate or the copyright registration certificate, was a certificate issued by the registration authority after the copyright party applied to the registration authority in accordance with the law. The certificate would state the registration number, the name of the work, the type of work, the author, the copyright owner, the date of completion of the creation, the date of the first publication, and other contents. It would also indicate that it had been applied for by the copyright owner, reviewed by the copyright protection center, and registered in accordance with the provisions of the Trial Method for the voluntary registration of works. At the same time, it would indicate the registration date and the registration organization (in China, there are the National copyright bureau and the provincial copyright bureau, which can be distinguished by the signature on the certificate). There was a QR code on the top right corner of the new version of the certificate, which could be scanned to check the sample of the work. The copyright is automatically generated from the date of completion of the creation of the work. The copyright registration follows the voluntary principle. Even though an unregistered work was protected by law, in judicial practice, a copyright registration certificate played an important role in proving it. For example, in the event of a rights dispute, the registered content could be used as preliminary evidence to protect the rights and interests of the copyright owner. The registration could be applied in the name of a unit, an individual, or multiple people. The copyright registration of the works was free of charge. The registered works could be found on the website of the provincial copyright trading center. It helps to resolve disputes involving ownership or creators, and it can also facilitate the economic transaction, sale, transfer, and/or assignment of rights. It should be noted that the copyright bureau did not conduct a substantial review. Even if the non-original author applied for a certificate, in the event of a dispute, the certificate, together with relevant materials such as the original manuscript and the receipt record, could become sufficient evidence of copyright.
Information related to music copyright registration is as follows: ** I.
