What is Crown copyright?

Back to Top

Crown copyright is copyright held by the government, whether federal or provincial. Most often it arises in the same way as an employer's copyright in work produced by its employees. Where any work is, or has been, prepared or published by or under the direction or control of the Crown or any government department, the copyright in the work generally belongs to the government.
