Copyright Law

What is it?

Copyright is about protecting creators. Whenever someone creates something new by putting pen to paper, choreographing a dance, designing a graph, or taking a photo — it is theirs from the moment of its creation forward. And the creator's rights to benefit from that work (literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, written or unwritten) — financially or otherwise — is protected by law.

Copyright law protects authors from having their works copied without their permission. (Title 17 of the United States Code; Copyright Act of 1976).

When the creator of a work dies, the rights to benefit from a work passes to his/her family and continues for 70 years after the creator's death; at that point, the work enters the 'public domain.'

maker's mark


Explanation:
Juridisch lexicon - aanduiding van de maker - maker's notice. But maker's mark seems to be more commonly used.

It does of course depend on what the product is. Maker's mark might be more for antiques and jewellery, and perhaps maker's notice/certificate might be more appropriate in your case.

The 'performing arts' doesn't make it clear what the manufacturer/maker has produced. Perhaps it is best to follow the Juridisch Lexicon - notice or certificate, with make/manufacturer, whichever you consider more appropriate. Does that help?

Then I presume it is not the dancer, but the dance which must be protected, i.e. a choreography copyright. Would that fit?
