Canadian Copyrights Database

The Canadian Copyrights Database contains all copyrights which were registered pursuant to the Copyright Act from October 1, 1991 onwards. This includes traditional copyrights (original literary, artistic, dramatic and musical works) and copyrights in other subject-matter (performer's performances, sound recordings and communication signals). Pre-1991 registration information is available in microfiche, index card and microfilm form in the Canadian Intellectual Property Office's Client Service Centre in Gatineau, Quebec.
