The Legal Basics of Intellectual Property for Mangaka
Automatic Copyright Protection
As soon as you make your first marks on paper or screen, your creation benefits from copyright protection, without cumbersome administrative procedures. This legal recognition applies as soon as the idea is materialized.
Materialization of the Work and Proof of Prior Art
To assert your rights in case of a dispute, you must be able to prove that you are the original author of the board. Keeping the original work files constitutes irrefutable proof.
Limitations of Copyright in the Digital Age
The digital universe facilitates instant copying. Faced with the risks of plagiarism on social networks, simple copyright is sometimes not enough without active timestamping or official filing.
