Mobile Application Copyright Registration in Vietnam

Mobile Application

A mobile application is software designed to run on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. These applications can be downloaded and installed from app stores like Google Play Store (for Android) and Apple App Store (for iOS). Mobile applications are developed for various purposes, including entertainment, education, business, healthcare, and personal utilities.

Common Types of Mobile Applications:

  • Entertainment Applications: Includes games, music apps, movie and video streaming apps.
  • Social Applications: Such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, which help users connect and interact with each other.
  • Utility Applications: Includes task management apps, calendars, weather apps, and note-taking apps.
  • Shopping Applications: Such as Amazon and eBay, which help users shop online.
  • Banking Applications: Bank apps for managing personal finances.
  • Healthcare Applications: Apps for health tracking and doctor appointment scheduling.
  • Educational Applications: Language learning apps, online learning platforms, and dictionaries.

Mobile application copyright is a legal right that protects the intellectual property of the developer or author of the mobile application they create. This right ensures that only the author or copyright owner has the authority to control the use, distribution, and modification of the mobile application.

To register the copyright for a mobile application, you need to prepare a complete and accurate dossier. Here are the specific steps and required components for the mobile application copyright registration dossier:

1/ Copyright Registration Form for Computer Programs

Fill out the registration form according to the regulations:

  • Name, address, and contact information of the author. If the copyright owner is not the author, provide information about the copyright owner.
  • Detailed description of the application: Name, version of the application, a brief description of its functions and purpose.
  • Creation date and publication date (if any).

2/ Certified Copies of Author’s or Copyright Owner’s Documents

  • Copy of the identity card of the author or individual copyright owner.
  • Copy of the establishment decision or business registration of the organizational copyright owner.

3/ Proof of Ownership Documents

  • Employment contract or service contract (if the application was developed under a contract).
  • Other documents proving ownership or transfer of ownership (if any).

4/ Source Code

  • A copy of the application’s source code (not the entire source code, just the main part showing the creative process).
  • Ensure that the source code is kept confidential and does not disclose sensitive information.

5/ Technical Description

  • Detailed description of the structure, operation method, and main features of the application.
  • Include illustrations and diagrams (if any).

7/ Copy of the Work
