Copyright protection grants authors and creators exclusive rights over their original work. In the UAE, copyright laws cover a wide range of creative fields, including literature, art, music, film, software, and more. Legal advice is essential to help you understand what is protected, how to register, and what actions to take if your rights are infringed.

- Assess if your work qualifies for copyright protection.
