Canadian Intellectual Property Office - Copyrights. What's New CIPO and the Competition Bureau Sign Memorandum to Enhance Inter-Agency Cooperation [2014-04-02] Why register your copyright? A poem, painting, musical score, performer's performance and a computer program are all valuable creations worth protecting. Although copyright in a work exists automatically when an original work is created, a certificate of registration is evidence that your creation is protected by copyright and that you, the person registered, are the owner. It can be used in court as evidence of ownership. How to register Before you apply to register your copyright, consult the Guide to Copyright to learn about the registration process. Once you're ready, register your copyright. Copyright information At CIPO, we can provide you with information about the registration process.

The New Zealand Government Open Access and Licensing framework (NZGOAL), approved by Cabinet on 5 July 2010, is government guidance for agencies to follow when releasing copyright works and non-copyright material for re-use by others. The release of NZGOAL was announced by the Minister of State Services on 6 August 2010. NZGOAL applies to State Services agencies. A full list of State Services agencies can be found on the State Services Commission’s website NZGOAL seeks to standardise the licensing of government copyright works for re-use using Creative Commons New Zealand law licences and recommends the use of ‘no-known rights’ statements for non-copyright material.
Creative Commons licences are freely available copyright licences that enable the sharing of copyright works for re-use in a standardised way and in forms that are human, machine and lawyer readable.

Good practice needs to be built around encouraging users to respect clear rights and licence statements that focus on permitted behaviour, providing value that does not rely on controlling copies, and thinking carefully about putting restricted content online.
