2. Why should I register my copyright?
Registering your copyright offers several benefits:
- Legal proof of ownership in case of disputes.
- Eligibility to file a lawsuit for infringement.

3. What types of works can be registered for copyright?
Copyright can protect original works such as:
- Literary works (books, articles, poems).
