Protection through the Berne Convention
A U.S. copyright registration provides your intellectual property with automatic global book rights protection protection in 181 member countries under the Berne Convention. However, this automatic protection, while significant, is insufficient to provide complete legal security. Defending your rights in a foreign court requires more than the baseline protection offered by the Berne Convention.
Foreign legal systems often impose substantial procedural hurdles that can delay or complicate litigation. Without additional measures, proving ownership and establishing the necessary evidentiary requirements in a foreign jurisdiction can prove challenging and time-consuming.
To overcome these limitations, we strengthen our clients’ positions through strategic filings in key foreign territories. These targeted registrations create a more robust legal foundation that enhances your ability to effectively defend your rights abroad. By establishing a clear, documented record of ownership within the relevant foreign jurisdictions, these proactive measures significantly improve your capacity to secure swift and effective legal relief when disputes arise.
This strategic approach ensures that when your intellectual property crosses international borders, your ability to protect and enforce your rights travels with it.
WIPO Copyright Recordation
For creators aiming for international distribution, WIPO copyright registration is a must. Once your work is registered in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), it is listed in the centralized, authoritative record of your creation.
American Author Board handles the complex recordation process by international IP protection filing, providing internationally recognized documentation that is recommended for intellectual property owners expecting foreign editions, translations, or when you need to file copyright internationally after exporting intellectual property for film and media consumption. WIPO copyright registration serves as the gold standard for global IP protection, reducing the administrative burden of securing rights across diverse legal systems in foreign countries.
We strategize the timing and scope of this filing to best support your projected foreign income streams, whether through physical sales or streaming media licensing.

This unified system provides comprehensive and enforceable trademark rights throughout one of the world’s largest consumer markets.
