The Berne Convention, to which Bangladesh is a signatory, requires
member countries to grant moral rights to authors.

Registration:

Copyrights can be registered by filing an application with the Bangladesh
Copyright Office with the filled out prescribed forms and a copy of the
work intended to be protected.

EFFECT OF REGISTRATION

• Protection - If any person, without being granted with a license
by the right owner, does any act which is vested exclusively on
the right holder, or does acts such as selling, hiring, displaying or
distributing for trade, importing, etc., the right holder may take
legal actions against such person.

• Assignment & Licensing - The owner of the copyright in an existing
work or the prospective owner of the copyright in a future work
may assign to any person the copyright either wholly or partially
and either generally or subject to limitation and either for the whole
term of the copyright or any part thereof (section 18, CA 2000). The
owner may also grant any interest in the copyright by license signed
by him or by his duly authorized agent (s. 48, CA 2000).
