About Access Copyright

What we do

Since 1988, Access Copyright has been meeting the needs of businesses, educators, governments and other organizations across Canada with our innovative copyright licensing solutions. Our licences give content users immediate, legal access to the copyright protected materials they need to copy from to get their jobs done, while ensuring that creators and publishers are fairly compensated when their works are copied.

Through agreements with other copyright organizations around the world, Access Copyright provides licensees with access to a growing repertoire of more than 20 million books, magazines, newspapers and other publications.

However, we do not register copyright. For information on how to register copyright, contact the Canadian Intellectual Property office at 1-866-997-1936, or visit www.cipo.gc.ca.
