Does copyright have to be new or novel?

1 answer

Yes, it does. Originality, which implies newness or novelty, is a fundamental aspect of copyright. A work that is completely unoriginal and lacks any new contribution cannot be copyrighted. For instance, in the field of visual arts, if an artist creates a painting that is a blatant copy of another well - known painting without adding any new creative aspects such as a different color scheme, a new perspective, or unique brushwork, it cannot be copyrighted. New or novel elements are what distinguish a work as being the creator's own and eligible for copyright protection.

Copyright doesn't always demand novelty. What matters is that the work shows a certain level of creativity and originality in its expression. For example, a unique way of presenting a common story can be copyrighted.

There were two ways to obtain the copyright of a novel, automatic acquisition and registration. According to China's copyright law, the novel would automatically have copyright after it was completed. The completion of a work meant that the object of creation had met the legal requirements for the composition of a work, and it could be protected by copyright law. The process of registering and obtaining the copyright of a novel included submitting an application, entering the copyright registration process, and submitting the application materials. The applicants needed to submit the works they wanted to apply for copyright registration to the National copyright bureau and fill in the corresponding application form and guarantee. If the review was passed and there were no objections, the copyright office would register the work and issue a registration certificate within a month. In addition, novel authors could also choose to apply for registration through the China copyright protection center and the filing department of the competent departments of the provinces and cities directly under the central government, or through a third-party registration center or a trusted third-party agency for independent preservation and certification to obtain preliminary proof of the ownership of the work. When necessary, judicial appraisal could be used to enhance the legal effect of the evidence. In short, the author of the novel automatically owned the copyright after completing the work. The registration was only to further protect the rights and provide evidence.

The copyright of a novel referred to the rights that the author of a literary work enjoyed over his work. According to China's copyright law, the novel would automatically have copyright after it was completed. The definition of a completed work was relative. As long as the object of creation met the legal requirements for the composition of a work, it could be protected by copyright law. In China, you can apply for registration through China's copyright protection center and the filing department of the competent departments of provinces and cities directly under the central government. You can also apply for registration through a third-party registration center or an organization supported by a trusted third party. In addition, the works had copyright regardless of whether they were published or registered. The copyright registration certificate was only for convenience. As for the copyright protection of online novels, there were various ways to store evidence on their own and use smart authentication for the first release to enhance the legal effectiveness of evidence. As for the time limit and specific conditions of the copyright, the search results did not provide any relevant information.
