Some questions about applying for software copyright, ask everyone.

Question 1: If the basic functions are realized, you can apply for copyright, and the information prepared in the early stage can be prepared, the copyright is to protect the name of the game and the general research and development of the source ** will be handled, in order to prevent others from being stolen, etc., the version number must be handled before the game is launched, and his application condition is that he has a copyright and an ICP certificate and an introduction to the game before he can apply for a version number.

Question 2: The requirement is 50 lines per page, if your source program file has 59 pages, then you must submit all the documents, that is, 59 pages; If your source file has 100 pages, you only need to submit the first 30 pages and the last 30 pages (70-100 pages), and you don't need to submit the others.

Like you said there are hundreds of thousands of lines, let's say 300,000 lines, then every 50 lines of one page, you will have 6,000 pages, then submit 1-30 pages, and 5,970-6,000 pages. In fact, software copyright is not the same as a patent, if it is a patent application, it must be all the source program files, not one less, that is to say, the patent application is to disclose your technology. Software copyright, on the other hand, does not disclose your technology.

Question 3: There are two types of manual templates for software copyright declaration, 1. Description document (operation and use): Each operation interface of the description document must have a cross-sectional drawing with a text description, and the full section should be drawn (including the software and browser borders), and a part of the software interface cannot be intercepted.

The documentation generally includes: software overview, operating environment, main functions, technical features, installation and use process, etc.

2. Design documents: including software overview, operating environment, main functions, technical characteristics, overall software architecture flow chart, description of each functional module, interface design, terminology, parameter function algorithm, operation design function, etc.

What are required for software copyright application?

Useful.

For software developers, although it is not a mandatory policy of the state to handle software copyright registration, it is beneficial and harmless when the software is registered.

1. The "Software Copyright Registration Certificate" is the most powerful evidence to prove the software rights in the event of a dispute over software copyright. This is a good proof not only in litigation or in the event of a general dispute. However, without registration, it is difficult for the rights of copyright owners to obtain full protection.

2. The "Software Copyright Registration Certificate" is an important capital and wealth for software copyright owners to invest and trade. Today's economy is a knowledge-based economy, and only knowledge can be valuable. The software copyright registration certificate is the last proof of knowledge.

3. The "Software Copyright Registration Certificate" is sometimes a very important weight for enterprises when applying for the recognition of high-tech enterprises, and the software copyright registration certificate can prove to a certain extent that the enterprise has core independent intellectual property rights, which is also a very important part of the high-tech identification.

4. The "Software Copyright Registration Certificate" is an indispensable proof material for enterprises to apply for software enterprises.

(1) Cooperatively developed software In practice, due to the fact that software development requires huge investment, a software often needs to be developed by multiple natural persons, legal persons or other organizations, and it can be said that cooperation is often the crystallization of each developer's creative intellectual labor. China's "Software Regulations" clearly point out that unless otherwise agreed, the software copyright of software developed by two or more natural persons, legal persons or other organizations shall be jointly enjoyed by all cooperative developers. There are some software copyright issues in the specific implementation:

If, in the process of co-developing software, a written agreement on the ownership of software copyright is signed between the co-developers, the ownership of the software copyright shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the written agreement. If there is no written contract on the ownership of software copyright between the partners or the contract is not clear, the ownership of the copyright shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the law, as follows: If the jointly developed software can be used separately, the developer can separately enjoy the copyright for the part developed by each other.

However, it is worth noting that each developer's exercise of his or her own copyright shall not extend to the copyright of the software developed by the developer as a whole. The exercise of the copyright of the software as a whole must be approved by each co-developer. If the cooperatively developed software cannot be used separately, its copyright shall be jointly enjoyed by all cooperative developers and exercised through the consensus of all developers; If there is no consensus and there is no justifiable reason, neither party shall prevent the other party from exercising other rights other than the right of transfer, but the proceeds shall be reasonably distributed to all co-developers.

2) Software developed by entrustment Software developed by natural persons, legal persons or other organizations entrusted by others is software developed by entrustment. According to the provisions of the Software Regulations, the ownership of the software copyright developed by others can be confirmed in the following ways: If a written contract for commissioned development has been signed between the client and the entrusted party, and there is a clear agreement on the ownership of the entrusted software copyright, then the ownership of the entrusted software copyright shall be confirmed in accordance with the agreement between the two parties.

If there is no written contract for entrusted development between the client and the trustee, or although a written contract for entrusted development has been signed, but the agreement on the ownership of the copyright of the entrusted development software is not clear in the contract, then according to the provisions of the law, the copyright of the entrusted development software belongs to the entrusted party, but the principal can enjoy the right to use the software. (3) Software developed by the task The software developed by the task refers to the software developed for the completion of the tasks assigned by the state organs, and the determination of the ownership of its copyright is similar to the method of confirming the ownership of the copyright of the software developed by the entrusted development, that is, the ownership of the copyright is determined according to whether there are clear provisions in the contract or project task book, if the ownership of the copyright is not specified in the project task book issued by the state organ or the contract signed by the two parties or the provisions are not clear, The copyright shall be owned by the legal person or other organization that accepts the assignment.

Legal analysis: software copyright application can effectively obtain the help of first-class funds. When applying for related projects, when reviewing the materials, we see that there is a copyright registration, and the overview of the approval is larger, and the support will be more.

In terms of selecting professional titles, it can help them. In particular, some scientific research achievements are of great help when selecting professional titles.
