The Executive President of the Trinidad and Tobago Copyright Collection Organisation (TTCO) is urging creatives to register their artistic creations and intellectual property to ensure they can have the full protection of copyright law.
“This registration offers a vital layer of legal protection, strengthens claims in any dispute, and can serve as evidence in a court of law,” Asten G. Isaac, TTCO Executive President, said in a statement.
The advice comes in the wake of the copyright judgment involving the Estate of the Late Leroy Calliste—“Black Stalin”. A judgment was rendered against his widow, Janet Calliste, for the unauthorized use of a photograph in promotional material for a tribute event. She intends to appeal the ruling.
