Grant of Copyright
Artistic works range from paintings, drawings, engravings, and craftsmanship. To some extent, it even encompasses architecture and photographs. Like most entities covered by copyright, art must be an original work to be protected by the copyright act. Art is protected for a lifetime.
The Berne Convention states that two generations of the artist should benefit from the predecessor's copyright. Once the author of the art is dead, the copyright expires after a particular time, which varies from country to country.
The artist is the first owner of the art he produces unless he is contractually bound by an employer, mainly newspapers, magazines, or studios.
Here are some privileges the author enjoys under the Copyright Act:
There are minimal exceptions to the rule. For example, if the art is shown incidentally in a movie, it is exempted from the act. The artist cannot claim copyright infringement if the art is transfixed at a particular place and that place gets recorded in a movie or show.
In a few countries, the Copyright Act prevents auction houses from using copies of art to advertise for sale. Before doing so, the auction house must seek the permission of the owner of the art. However, this clause is prevalent in only a select few countries.
Make sure your Artwork is original one. That's the only eligibility criteria to obtain Artistic Work/Painting Copyright.
In regard to Artistic Work/Painting Copyright, the following documents are needed:
The copyright registration process for artistic work is long, and it involves a lot of legal requirements. However, all of that can be compressed into the following points:
Perform a copyright registration search to see if the artistic work of the same name, content, and nature is already copyrighted
File the application for copyright registration along with a copy of the work you want to copyright.
Wait for the copyrighted material to be published. It shall stay in the journal for a while.
Once you get the copyright registration, the benefits come then. However, the time it takes for the process to be completed can take even years.
