Q1: What materials are required to register an artwork, and can such requests ultimately be supported?

Whether or not support can be obtained depends on whether the evidence is sufficient, whether the legal relationship is clear, and whether the choice of procedure is appropriate. Our firm does not guarantee victory. If there is a clear basis for rights and a complete chain of evidence, the court or arbitration institution will usually support reasonable claims in accordance with the law; otherwise, the risk will be higher. It is recommended to first sort out the facts and materials needed for the registration of artworks, evaluate the feasibility by referring to the Copyright Law and Patent Law, and consult a professional lawyer when necessary.

Q2: What materials need to be submitted and what evidence needs to be prepared for the registration of artworks?

The core evidence should be organized around the basis of rights and the focus of the dispute, including proof of the subject's identity and relationship, documents of rights and obligations, communication process and performance records, proof of losses or amounts, and materials that can prove the statute of limitations and jurisdiction. The more complete the evidence is, the better it can support the claim.

The litigation fees are calculated in accordance with the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Costs" based on the amount of the subject matter and are usually borne by the losing party. The attorney's fees, however, are determined based on the complexity of the case, the amount of the subject matter, and the workload, and are charged on a per-case basis, as a percentage of the subject matter, or on an hourly basis. The fees are negotiated between the law firm and the client and specified in the engagement contract.
