Copyright

Registration, protection and defense of literary, artistic, scientific and digital works — your creativity protected against unauthorized use, plagiarism and infringement.

Copyright protects creative and intellectual works: texts, photographs, designs, music, software, videos, web content and books. It arises automatically the moment the work is created, but registering it with the MICI strengthens legal protection and makes it far easier to defend in case of infringement.

What can be registered

Literary, artistic and scientific works. Texts, books and articles. Photographs and visual works. Graphic designs and plastic works. Software and computer programs. Audiovisual content: videos, films, animations. Music and compositions. Web content, blogs and digital materials. Databases and original compilations.

Protect your work. Defend your authorship. Registration · Licensing agreements · Anti-plagiarism defense · Digital property.

What you should know

Copyright arises automatically the moment a work is created — you don’t need to register it for it to exist. But registering it with the DNDA creates legal evidence of authorship with an official date, which makes defending against plagiarism, unauthorized use or infringement enormously easier.

International protection from Panama

Panama is a member of the Berne Convention, which means a work registered in Panama is automatically recognized in more than 180 member countries. You don’t need to register your work separately in each country. One protection, global coverage.

What you create belongs to you. Registering it is the difference between being able to prove it and merely knowing it.
