The Intellectual Property Registry
The Registry is an administrative agency created to protect intellectual property rights of authors and other owners on the creations of literary, artistic or scientific.
The Registrar General of Intellectual Property is part of the General State Administration under the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. There are also territorial records managed by the Autonomous Communities who process registrations that occur on their territory.
The Registration is voluntary and therefore the existence of intellectual property rights does not depend on registration: intellectual property rights are born with the creation of the work.
The registry is intended to protect intellectual property rights by providing proof of the existence of the work and ownership that has on it who fits.
Another aim of the Register is to publicize the rights which it fits.
What works can be entered in the Register?
In the registry can sign the rights to all works, performances and productions that are protected by copyright law and intellectual property rights that apply to performers, producers of phonograms and audiovisual recordings, institutions broadcasting, creators of photographs and some editorial productions.
However, they can not be registered because they are not protected by copyright law, ideas, procedures, systems, methods of operation or mathematical concepts in themselves, nor the laws or regulations, decisions of the courts, opinions of public bodies and official translations of such texts.
The Registration of Intellectual Property
May apply for registration of works, performances or productions, the authors of them and those who have any intellectual property right.
