In our country, how long is the term of protection for a natural person's copyright?

In China, the term of copyright protection is 20 years from the date of creation. However, the copyright enjoyed by the copyright owner includes the personal right of copyright and the property right of copyright. The personal right of copyright includes the right of publication, the right of signature, the right of modification, the right of protection, and the property right of copyright includes the right of adaptation, the right of translation, and the right of compilation. During the term of copyright protection, the copyright owner can create and modify the work at any time and place according to his own wishes and needs. After the protection period, the copyright owner could not create or modify the work in any way, but the work still enjoyed the copyright and property rights. If the work was adapted, translated, compiled, etc. by others, the copyright owner still had to pay the copyright fee according to the law.

The term of protection of property rights in copyrights is usually 20 years, but it may be extended or shortened according to specific circumstances. The property rights in copyright include the right of signature, the right of modification, the right of display, and the right of supervision. These rights can continue to be effective after the death of the copyright owner until they are automatically extinguished after 20 years. If the copyright owner wants to extend the protection period of these rights, he can negotiate with the copyright inheritor or use other methods to exercise these rights within the scope of the law. It should be noted that the term of protection of property rights in copyrights is not unlimited. If there is no change in the copyright after 20 years, these rights will expire. In addition, if the copyright owner wants to exercise other rights in the copyright, such as adaptation, translation, production of derivative works, etc., they also need to comply with the law and obtain the corresponding permission or remuneration.

The term of protection for property rights in individual copyright is the author's lifetime and 50 years after his death.

The term of copyright protection for a citizen's work was the author's lifetime plus 50 years after his death.

The duration of copyright protection depends on the provisions of the copyright law. In China, the duration of copyright protection was calculated from the date of creation, which was September 10, 1982. The date of creation of a work is not regarded as the date of establishment of the copyright. The copyright owner can exercise his rights at will until his rights are exhausted or he dies. According to the copyright law, copyright includes the rights of the copyright owner and the copyright heir. After the death of the copyright owner, his heir could inherit the copyright but had to pay the corresponding inheritance tax. After the copyright protection period ends, the work will automatically lose its copyright, but the publishing house or performer to which the work belongs can still enjoy the relevant copyright protection. After the end of the copyright protection period, if the work is still legally original, the relevant rights and interests can continue to be protected through other means such as trademark rights, patent rights, trade secrets, etc.

The copyright protection period was 20 years from the day the author created the work. However, according to the third paragraph of article 21 of the copyright law, the copyright owner can claim rights at the same time, that is, he can exercise the copyright or neighboring rights at the same time. The duration of copyright protection was determined according to the specific circumstances of the work. According to the copyright law, the term of copyright protection for film works and works created by similar methods shall be calculated from the date of creation; music, drama, opera, folk art and other performance works shall be calculated from the date of performance. For literary works, according to the provisions of the first paragraph of article 10 of the copyright law, copyright includes all the rights stipulated by the copyright law and the copyright sharing law, including the right to publish, the right to sign, the right to modify, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right to translate, the right to compile, the right to adapt, etc. Therefore, the duration of protection needed to be determined according to the specific circumstances of the work.

The term of protection of property rights in copyrights was clearly stipulated by law. Under normal circumstances, it was 20 years. However, according to the first paragraph of article 34 of the copyright law, the author's right of authorization, right of modification, and right to protect the integrity of the work are not limited. This means that the author can modify, publish and distribute his work at will during the copyright protection period, but he has to abide by the relevant laws and regulations. In addition, according to the first paragraph of article 39 of the copyright law, the protection period of the property rights in the copyright (including the accompanying right, adaptation right, translation right, compilation right, etc.) can be extended to 50 years or 5 years after 50 years, unless otherwise stipulated by law.

The term of protection of a copyright was usually 20 years from the date of creation of the work. However, the copyright owner can retain the copyright rights of the work without paying any copyright fees to any organization in the 20th, 25th, 30th, and 21st years. The specific legal provisions for the extension of the term of protection vary from country to country. Some countries have laws that allow the copyright owner to extend the term of protection indefinitely, while others provide that the extension of the term of protection is only allowed under certain conditions. The copyright includes the copyright law and the copyright distribution law. The copyright law provides that the rights enjoyed by the copyright owner include the right to create, publish, adapt, translate, compile, display, and so on. At the same time, the copyright distribution law stipulated that the copyright owner's copyright income should be distributed according to the proportion.

The copyright protection period of a work was the period from the date of creation to the death of the copyright owner or the time when the copyright owner was deprived by law. Under normal circumstances, the copyright protection period of a work is 20 years, but some countries or regions may have other regulations. For example, the copyright protection period in the United States is 50 years, but the copyright owner can extend the protection period up to 15 years. After the copyright protection period expired, the copyright of the work became public property, and anyone could share and use it. If the copyright owner wants to sell or transfer the copyright of the work again, he needs to apply for copyright registration again with the copyright office. It should be noted that the copyright protection period of a work is not permanent. If the copyright owner dies during the copyright protection period, his heir can inherit the copyright of the work and continue to enjoy the rights. Some other countries or regions have also stipulated that if the copyright owner does not want to continue to protect the copyright of the work, he can automatically give up his rights within a certain period of time.

The copyright protection period was 50 years after the author's death.
