The moment of creation and expression in the material form of a work is the starting point of the beginning of copyright on the result of intellectual activity. The recognition of such rights in court is a complex and lengthy procedure. To confirm the position, the copyright holder presents evidence of his own rightness. These include sketches, projects of preliminary versions, or individual parts of the work. Proof is also considered a notarized copy, a copy sent to himself by the author, or a deposited work. When establishing authorship in a court of general jurisdiction, the obligation to prove is assigned to the copyright holder. The rights recognized following the results of the proceedings make it possible to present property claims against the offender.
