Unlike other IP rights where registration is required, copyright itself does not depend on official procedures. A created work is considered protected by copyright as soon as it exists. According to international conventions (in particular the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works) literary and artistic works are protected without any formalities in the countries party to those conventions. Thus, there is no international system for applying for copyright protection across a number of different countries.
