Recently, more and more people are interested in the topic of self-development, seeking to acquire new knowledge and skills in both professional and personal fields. Today there are many online trainings, courses, webinars, lectures etc. People who provide trainings are concerned about copyright protection. After all, it is a frequent case when participants of the training subsequently publish materials on their social network profile without the author's permission or, worse, by assigning authorship to themselves.
First of all, we emphasize that the training or course you have developed is the result of your creative and intellectual activity, and therefore is subject to copyright. Therefore a developer of the training acquires a range of personal non-property and property rights that directly follow from his authorship. Only the person who owns the copyright can decide on the exercise of copyright, especially regarding the use of intellectual property object.
To prevent accidental violation of your rights on the Internet, you can use the copyright symbol, which indicates that a particular material (training, webinar, presentation) has its owner. You can also warn other users of the network that when borrowing your materials it is mandatory to indicate your authorship and the resource from which they are taken, moreover, you can place a warning about liability in case of misuse of the author's work. However, such methods are less likely to protect against the dishonesty of third parties who deliberately infringe copyright for their own benefit.
That is why the most appropriate is the registration of copyright for a training or lecture in Ukrpatent. The copyright registration certificate is an official confirmation of the fact of authorship, which is an effective legal tool for resolving potential conflicts, in particular when it comes to court.
However, it should be borne in mind that the content of the training or seminar is protected only in the form in which it was expressed, presented, demonstrated, published. The idea of the training is not protected by copyright and their use is not limited. This follows from the provisions of the Law "On Copyright and Related Rights", which states that legal protection applies only to the form of expression of the work and does not apply to any ideas, theories, principles, methods, procedures, systems, concepts even if they are expressed, described, explained, illustrated in the work.
In order to effectively protect copyright, we advise you to use the services of patent attorneys of Yaremchuk & Partners Legal Consulting Group, who will provide you with legal advice on protecting your rights as an author and help in the proper preparation and filing of an application for registration of your copyright.
