17.7 Copyright Infringement- Copyright Registration Certificate is a document that establishes the existence of copyright for an original work of authorship. A copyright registration certificate provides legal protection for the owner of the copyright for the work in question, and creates a public record of the copyright. There are three types of copyright registration certificates: Standard Copyright Registration Certificate, Borne Convention Copyright Registration Certificate, and Community Design Right Copyright Registration Certificate. Each type of certificate is tailored to the jurisdiction that it is issued in and provides different levels of copyright protection. The Standard Copyright Registration Certificate is the most common form of copyright registration and is used to establish the copyright of a work in the United States. The Borne Convention Copyright Registration Certificate is used to protect a work that is covered by the Borne Convention, which is an international treaty on copyright protection. The Community Design Right Copyright Registration Certificate is used to protect a design that is registered in the European Union.
