Copyright in Thailand arises automatically on creation, but notifying the work to the Department of Intellectual Property gives strong evidence of ownership and date for enforcement. Software, designs, music, photos and written works all qualify. For protection abroad, Berne Convention membership applies, and some countries offer separate registration.
How it works
- Identify the work and the owner
- Prepare samples and authorship evidence
- File copyright notification with DIP
- Record assignments or licences
- Monitor and enforce infringements
