Copyright arises when a protected work is created, not only after a special registration procedure. In the digital environment, someone else’s material can be copied within minutes, so issues related to authorship are best addressed before commercial use and publication of content online. Therefore, publication itself does not always provide the rights holder with a convenient evidentiary basis for a future dispute.
In Uzbekistan, literary, musical, and audiovisual works, designs, photographs, software products, and other results of creative activity are protected. Copyright in Tashkent and other cities is protected by the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan regardless of whether the material has already been published or is still in progress. Therefore, the answer to the question of how to obtain copyright begins with documenting the object and the information related to its creation.
