Copyright Law of Jordan - Copyright Registration

Copyright Registration

In Jordan copyright automatically attaches upon the creation of an original work of authorship, however registration / deposit with the National Library of the Jordanian Ministry of Culture puts a copyright holder in a better position if litigation arises over the copyright.

A copyright holder desiring to register his/her copyright should:

  1. Obtain and complete the appropriate form(s).
  2. Prepare clear renditions of material being submitted for copyright.
  3. If relevant, obtain any necessary forfeit documents from persons who contributed to the work.
  4. Deposit the work at the National Library.

Each work is issued a depository number, and no official fees are required.
