Document background
A Copyright Notice Statement is essential for protecting intellectual property rights in Singapore's legal framework. It should be used whenever an original work is published or made available to the public, serving as the first line of defense against unauthorized use. The notice, governed by Singapore's Copyright Act 2021, includes crucial information such as ownership details, year of first publication, and rights reserved declaration. It's particularly important in the digital age where content can be easily copied and distributed, providing clear notification of copyright protection and potential legal consequences for infringement.
