To gain copyright protection, a work must first be registered in the National Library or the Intellectual Property Office.Question 7Select one:TrueFalse

Answer

The statement is False.

In many jurisdictions, including the United States, copyright protection is automatically granted to original works of authorship at the moment they are created and fixed in a tangible medium. Registration with a relevant copyright office, such as the National Library or the Intellectual Property Office, is not required for copyright protection. However, registration can provide additional legal benefits, such as the ability to sue for statutory damages and attorney's fees in case of infringement.

Thus, while registering a work can help bolster one's legal standing, it is not a prerequisite for copyright protection itself.
