The exclusively declaratory character which marks
registration in the issue of Copyrights provides for
less dissemination of this activity in this area, if we
compare it to Industrial Property where registration is
mainly constitutive
Considering all of this, every author of an intellectual
creation or work who deems it appropriate may obtain
registration of his rights over the said work in our
country, if he formally applies for that purpose before
the competent authorities recognized in our country for
the said purposes, i.e. the National Center of
Copyrights of Cuba.
Once a copyright is granted over the work of an author,
the owner shall have the possibility to record in the
registry any further proceedings of his interest,
related to the patrimonial rights he enjoys as the
author of the said work that may arise during the term
of validity. Evidence of this shall be recorded.
Likewise, the owner may apply for the record of an act
related to the work he is the owner of, although it may
not have been previously registered.
These acts basically refer to the agreements which may
be voluntarily promoted between the owner of a work and
a third party, so that permission is given to a person
distinct from the owner to use the work involved. These
agreements between parties are made concrete via
different types of contracts, depending on the intention
of the parties involved. Most of them are legally
covered and defined by the legal provisions in force in
this area.
The following shall be submitted to record registration
of these acts
• A formal document of application for registration
containing personal information of the author/authors
and of the work itself.
• The original document giving evidence of the
intentions of the parties involved to achieve the goals
set.
• A Power of Attorney, duly signed by the owner of
rights, empowering us to represent him in the procedures
herewith involved, before the national competent
authority.
