Copyright (book rights) is a type of intellectual property that grants the creator of an original creative work the exclusive legal right to determine whether and under what conditions it may be copied and used by others. Copyright laws state that by creating an original, creative work, you automatically own the rights to that content without the formality or paperwork, simply because you are the author of that original work.


The purpose of copyright registration is to place on record a verifiable account of the date and content of the work in question, so that in the event of a legal claim, or case of infringement or plagiarism, the copyright owner can produce a copy of the work from an official government source in case of disputes.
