The Nigerian Copyright e-Registration System (NCeRS) offers a platform for creators of copyright works or persons who have acquired rights in these works to register the work online with the Nigerian Copyright Commission. Although copyright in a work exists automatically when an original work is created, subsequent registration of the work under the NCeRS is evidence that your creation is protected by copyright; and facilitates recording and proof of the possible date of creation of the work and other facts stated in the application form. A copy of the work and facts relating to the creation and ownership of the work, disclosed in the application will form part of the database of the Nigerian Copyright Commission mandated to be kept under the Copyright Act, Cap C28, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
